Midnight Mehendi

I've been going to bed so early lately, which isn't really like me at all. I had a creative itch to scratch but didn't really feel like doing any major project. So, some simple mehendi was the answer!

I found a design I liked online and modified elements of it that I liked to fit into where I wanted the mehendi to be on my hand. Last time I did a palm design, this time I'm feeling a bit less shy to show my design, so I put it on the back of my hand.



I really feel like my life is flowing in a million directions right now, so I ended up incorporating a lot of water symbols. I feel so much calmer after having expressed how I'm feeling on my hand, albeit interpretive. I think I can fall asleep now though! With my hand hanging off the side of the bed of course, I wouldn't want it to chip off before morning! Gotta have that schmexy dark stain. ;o)

Flower Mehendi

I did some mehendi on my hand last night. I was up pretty late. I really like how this one came out, I tried to keep to a theme instead of day dreaming like I did for my birthday design, which was a mish mosh of whatever made me happy. (You can see a bit of that design in my post about the needle book I made for a swap.)

I love how it came out. It's hard for me to keep minimalist, there are some areas I think would look better if I put in a little more (like the base of my index finger), but I don't want to go overboard. So, this is the final design. All set for valentines day! Should I have done a heart? Naaaah, too cheesey.
