I brought this book as I wanted to learn how to do Henna, this book is perfect for beginners, gives you basic shapes to follow and then more advanced patterns for when you master the technique, quick delivery and perfect condition book.

Given as a Christmas present to a relative who uses henna, they found it interesting and informative

Got this for my daughter who like me loves Henna. The book gives some great ideas and she is enjoying doing Henna on herself and friends. I have just got bought another book for my niece as she is interested in Henna.

I bought this as a present and as soon as it was received we were all wearing beautiful henna tattoos it really is easy to follow as long as you have a steady hand and the recipient was absolutely delighted with her gift.

Beautiful book but not enough to create very intricate patterns. not enough stencils and help or information to do more with henna.

I love this book great step by step instructions & advice . The templates are great for tracing to practice & experiment with your own designs ❤❤❤❤❤

Excellent for just starting off, gives amazing advice, tells you how to make your own organic henna, tips and tricks to look out for, and even a few templates to start off with :)

This book is large, gorgeous, and glossy, full of colorful and inspiring photos. It is, however, a little on the short side, at just over 100 total pages. The book begins with some simple instructions for mixing henna, with a good, though basic, introduction to some recipe and application variations and options. In the style of many hobby/craft books, it uses text and photos to teach, step-by-step, techniques for creating some basic designs, moving on to suggest three (one of each) "beginner," "intermediate," and "advanced" tattoo projects to get you started. Then it enters into the Gallery, full of very beautiful photos to inspire you. Next is the Design section, a little over 40 pages long, with ~1-2 large images on each page spanning design ideas for hands, feet, back, shoulder, plus some additional flourishes and elements. Afterwards, it gives you a few blank hand/feet/etc Templates to photocopy and use to sketch out and/or record some of your own designs. It ends with an often-overlooked, though brief (10 pages or so), section on using henna as artwork on objects, which was one of the things that attracted me to the book. Henna/mehndi artists new and old should be aware that there are many comprehensive and entirely free ebooks by TapDancing Lizard Publications available online, which contain lots of designs and lots of detailed and in-depth information; however, I personally still very much like having books like this one in my library. I was quite delighted with this purchase, and would certainly recommend the book to others, especially to beginners, though I think the designs and photos would keep the interest even of more advanced henna artists.

wenn man sich eine weile mit dem zeichnen von mandalas befasst, stolpert man irgendwann automatisch auch über mehndi/henna-tattoos - jetzt wollte ich es mal ausprobieren und habe mir dazu dieses buch bestellt. es ist sehr gut strukturiert, enthält viele tipps und tricks und man erfährt, soweit ich das als anfängerin beurteilen kann, alles was nötig ist um loslegen zu können, unter anderem gibt es in dem buch ein ausführliches rezept für henna-paste, wo auch drin steht was die einzelnen zutaten bewirken sollen. besonders haben mir die vielen beispiele und vorlagen zum nachzeichnen oder als anregung gefallen, es ist wirklich eine reichhaltige fundgrube.

文章量が少なく、ビジュアルが楽しめる本。 最初に全体の４分の１程のページを使って「メヘンディとは」「ペーストの作り方」「簡単な模様の描き方について」などを主に文章で説明したあと、実際に描いたメヘンディの写真や、パターン集を掲載している。 本全体の半分程のページを使ってパターンを紹介しているが、大きいけれど簡単なパターンが１ページに１つ掲載されているだけで、パターン集として使うには非常にものたりない。 肌へのメヘンディだけでなく、木の箱などのアイテムにメヘンディをペイントした写真を多く掲載しているのが、他のメヘンディの本には見られない特徴。 ただし、メヘンディの写真・パターン集ともに、デザインのクオリティはいまひとつだった。

Love this book :) I’m a beginner and this book helped me get started! Has as recipe for making your own henna paste at home, teaches you in different ways how to use henna ie: different cones, bottles, sizes, textures, how to stain skin or objects like wood.. has pages to scan and print to practice with and lots of coloured photos of real art to reference.
