This is one of my henna designs with the Abu Dhabi logo I did during the ADAC Rally 2010 in Trier. I was there employed as hennartist for the BP FORD Abu Dhabi World Rally Team.
Henna or mehndi is not a tattoo which is made with a needle to bring the color pigments beneath the upper layer of the skin and therefore painful and permanent.
To draw such fine lines the finely grounded laeves of the henna shrub is in a first step well sifted, than mixed with warm water. After several hours of let sit the paste the strained paste is filled in a cone or syringue to lay very thin and delicate strings on the skin, which will stain the skin red. THlS DOESN'T HURT AT ALL, but you have to be careful not to smudge the henna and also very patient, because henna needs between 6 to 8 hours to develop a color.
This picture shows the mehndi after painting the henna on the hand. For that the henna rest moistened for several hours it is sealed with a coat of sugar water.
The patterns I do, are derived from the henna and khidab artwork I saw in Yemen two years ago. They are also known as gulf style or Khalidji. (Khalidj means in Arabic Gulf)

KHIDAB is the Yemeni black waterproof ink for body painting. It is used often instead of henna, but sometimes also in combination, to decorate hands and arms, back, décolleté as well as legs and feet with extended tendril-like patterns.
Khidab is obtained through pyrolysis. Cuprous oxide gives the ink its dark blue-black colour. Dr. Hanne Schönig has described the composition and production in detail in the article: “ Yemeni Women’s Body Painting with Black Gall Ink Khidab, Production Methods”

Bamboo pens and brown ink make me happy.
The one on the right, in brown, I traced over the original done by the teacher in black ink which is underneath.
This is now my second painting I made from the left over paint of the gig just 6 weeks ago. This time there isn'tl enough ink left to do another painting.
Nevertheless I am pretty content to have testet out, that you can use the preparedkhidab ink for weeks without any problems, provided you keep the ink in anairtight bottle.
