After hosting my blog on this platform for many years I've decided to use a new platform that is integrated with Free Hand Mehndi's new website. This blog will remain published but not updated until I determine the best way to continue using the blogger platform to further promote the art of henna.<br />
<br />
Comments will not be responded to, I recommend that you stop by and leave your comments on the new blog located at <a href="http://www.freehandmehndi.net/blogs/news">http://www.freehandmehndi.net/blogs/news</a><br />
<br />
I am excited to announce the relaunch of Free Hand Mehndi's online store <a href="http://www.freehandmehndi.net/">http://www.freehandmehndi.net</a>. It has been years since the original site closed and I am excited to be back in business. Please shop my new website at <a href="http://freehandmehndi.net/">freehandmehndi.net</a> where you'll find a full line of henna body art supplies, the new blog, and the new henna for beginners section.<br />

I recently decided to try out a different type of temp tattoo. These metallic temp tattoos have been around for a minute, and were really popular in the summer. I think they're cute and add a bit of shimmer for us grown ups. </div>

They're super easy to use and cheap if you purchase them from the right place. I've seen high end designers pricing them over $100 to just $5/sheet. I didn't do too much shopping around before I made my purchase, I got this sheet for $4.99 plus shipping.</div>

All that's needed are scissors and a sponge or pad with water. They're super easy to apply and take literally seconds to dry. I followed the directions in the etsy listing I purchased them from since instructions didn't come in the package. If you've ever used a kiddie temp tattoo, it's pretty self explanatory and works the exact same way. </div>

I peeled off the clear film and stuck the paper design face down on my finger, and dabbed a damp pad on the back. Left it for 30 seconds (as directed), and peeled it off. It applied evenly without any missing or torn parts. </div>

The sparkle is very subtle, so I could see wearing these to work without catching too much attention, or looking cheap. The temp tattoo bends with your skin, so there isn't any cracking or peeling around my knuckles. Pretty cool!</div>

Yes, even pro henna artists should practice. When I don't practice I notice an increase in hand cramps, and my lines get a bit wobbly as well.<br />

Recently I decided to only take on bridal clients or special projects. I no longer do henna parties so a majority of my practice is brushing up on my bridal henna skills.<br />

Over the years I've sampled henna powders from all over SE Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Each henna from each region has a unique consistency. When I was dreaming about the perfect henna powder I needed the stringy texture of Morocco, the stability of the Punjab Region, and the rich stains of the Middle East. My dream came true in the form of Sojat Supreme, a henna powder from Sojat Rajasthan India.</div>

In addition to my testing I sent this amazing powder out to several other artists to try. Below are their results. </div>

Finally a tutorial by yours truly! There are several variations of this design floating around the webs, but I took a my copy from @hudabeauty on instagram. I'd like to give credit to @hennabydivya who I was told is the original designer of this pattern, it was lots of fun to apply and has been insanely popular with my customers. I've altered this design slightly a few times on some of my clients, it has a very "gulfy" look and feel to it.<br />

By request I put this fun design together. The video was uploaded to youtube prior to the holiday, and I hope viewers who are observing Holi had the opportunity to utilize the design I created. What do you think? Please leave your comments and subscribe to my youtube channel.<br />

<br /></div>
Mehndi Mela is now available! I know it's two weeks late, but I just don't put any old designs in my ebooks. Mehndi Mela is a celebration of body art. The designs start quite simple and grow into elaborate designs for the most special of occasions. I'm so excited to share this labor of love with you. Most of the designs are Indian style, but you'll find fusion pieces from Morocco and Khaleegy inspired pieces as well.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Inside you'll find 20 pages of hand, feet, and motifs for you to place anywhere you'd like. Includes designs for all application levels, but most designs fall in the intermediate range.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">One of my local long time customers sent me this awesome henna design book from Sudan. I can't wait to start applying some of these awesome designs, you'll see a video soon. I wanted to share this gift with all of you. I scanned all of the pages including the front and back cover. The pages are tissue paper thin so preserving this little book is a must. Enjoy! </span></div>

I've loved Indian jewelry since forever. I love the elegance, and the timeless style. Most blingy statement necklaces you find at your local forever 21 and the like, are very similar to traditional style Indian Kundan Sets. I was very excited to get these pieces and happy that I can share them with all of you.<br />

I've been a long time subscriber of Nisha Davdra aka hennafied (youtube). She has some awesome style videos, hair and make up tutorials. She recently started a jewelry line and I was happy to have some of her hand selected pieces become a part of my jewelry collection. I personally love Nisha's style and attention to detail, so I knew these pieces would be perfection. I just wrapped up a review for three pieces from her collection. You can watch my review here...<br />

I'm a hijabi and wear my headscarf in public 100% of the time. I'd also like to be able to wear my beautiful new Indian jewelry too. There are many<a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=maang+tikka+hijab" target="_blank"> tutorials</a> online on how to wear a <a href="https://www.nishadavdra.com/store/c21/Tikka.html" target="_blank">damini</a> aka maang tikka with hijab so I just followed those. You can also wear earrings if you show yours ears (I don't). I used the earring from the<a href="https://www.nishadavdra.com/store/p47/Blue_3_Strand_Anarkali.html" target="_blank"> kundan set </a>as a fancy dangly hijab pin (make sure the earring back is snug and not loose). The necklace can be work by pulling the knot on the dory all the way to the end, making the necklace as long as possible and then wearing it around your neck. The necklace can also be placed on the head and worn in a similar way that I'm wearing the damani.<br />

Especially for parts of the body where you don't usually have henna applied. I did this Moroccan inspired chest piece back in December and used her cleavage and base of her neck to map the main part of the design. I then based the rest of the design off of the center piece. After finishing one motif I'd stand directly in front of her and map the other to match on the other side. It's more difficult than it looks, as you can see it's a little out of balance, but hey, who's perfect?<br />

I'll do a more detailed video explaining design mapping in the future, but this video shows a little demo.<br />
<br />
Pieces of this video are missing unfortunately, but I hope that you can benefit from it.<br />

In that time my life has changed loads. I've moved a bunch, lost, gained, struggled, and now I'm planning. No resolutions on my list, but goals and lots of hard work. All my personal stuff I'll leave off, but I certainly have goals for Free Hand Mehndi.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b>Regroup and refocus</b>. I left Free Hand Mehndi a giant mess with any and everything unfinished. Unprocessed orders/refunds, over 10,000 emails unanswered, and unfinished projects/contracts. I've spent the last few months ironing things out and cleaning up the giant mess I left. My goal is to have everything settled by March 31st. This means I need to hear from you. If you're due a refund from FHM or we have an unsettled contract I need you to contact me by March 1st.<br />
<br />
<b>Upgrade! </b>My camera and editing equipment is in dire need of upgrade. I want to bring you clear crisp video and images, and professionally edited content. I'm working on it. For now things might be a bit murky but trust me, I'm working towards better equipment.<br />
<br />
<b>More fun stuff.</b> I get a lot of requests for videos, classes, and even meetups. I hope to be able to make it to at least 3 major cities for meetups in 2014. I want to see your beautiful faces and have tons o henna fun.<br />
<br />
<b>Online store</b>. A bulk of my mistakes and failures came about through my online store and retail store. I have a lot of cleaning up to do in this area. As soon as I came back to <a href="http://www.youtube.com/freehandmehndi" target="_blank">youtube</a> the first question many asked is if the online store was coming back and how soon could they order. At that time I wasn't sure if that was possible and replied that the online store was not coming back.<br />
<br />
I unfortunately lost my domain name due to my expired bank card, but that's easily fixable. Got locked out of my website because I forgot the password (easily recovered). I messed up big time and lost the trust of my long time viewers and customers (one of my biggest regrets), and this is not easily fixable. I appreciate all of the love, forgiveness, and kindness many of you have shown. Simply opening an online store is something I can do tomorrow, but I'd be setting FHM up for failure I'm sure of it. My mission is to make things right, and it takes time to do that. I need to gain back the trust and respect from my long time viewers and give you my best, in 2014 I intend to do just that.<br />
<br />
With all of that said, the online store will reopen in 2014 (no date has been decided at this time). Henna is my passion and I intend to make it my business permanently. At one time I had a lot of success in the online henna business and I hope through hard work that I'll have the same and better than I once had. Sadly the retail store will not reopen.<br />
<br />
<b>Searching for the perfect henna powder. </b>I'm on a mission to find the perfect henna powder. Something better than my Monsoon? You bet! It may mean I have to travel, and I'm more than ready to do just that. This is a labor of love and I'm super excited about this project.<br />
<br />
I hope that 2014 is a great year for you, and that you grow in your craft and creativity. Heres to better days ahead! <b>**Happy New Year**</b>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513690971594109614.post-36511250414347790222013-12-29T14:33:00.000-08:002013-12-29T14:33:17.192-08:00She brought me a shirt With henna the possibilities are endless so when a friend brought me a shirt and asked me to create a design, I was excited. Free hand henna designs with inspiration from objects, is one of my favorite ways to do henna. If an object is not available I get inspiration from veins in the hands (sounds crazy, I know). This design was lots of fun, and this shirt was easy to get inspired by.<br />
<br />
Can you see what I used from this shirt? What would you have done differently? What do you use for inspiration? Check out my instagram @freehandmehndi for daily inspiration<br />

Around midnight my mind is flooded with design ideas. Sometimes I sketch the designs out, other times I ignore the design flow and try to sleep, but these days I'm reaching for a henna cone and bringing these ideas to life.<br />
<br />
For the last few nights Morocco has been my inspiration. I'm considering a whole month on youtube dedicated to Moroccan inspired henna designs. Last nights midnight madness I had khamsa/hamsa's on the brain, and geometric shapes and patterns. The typical Moroccan Henna outlines just wouldn't do. The outline of the ring and middle finger with no filler was perfect. I couldn't add or remove from this. Now that it's on skin I can sleep.<br />
<br />
When that burst of creativity comes at midnight, how do you cope?<br />

While they've been around forever they've recently become more popular in bridal and special occasion henna. The awesome thing about floral strips is they're super easy to do, even for a beginner, and they look impressive when finished with very little effort.<br />
<br />
Floral strips are made up of 3-4 shapes, accents, or motifs that are repeated until the design is complete. Below is a video of my most recent floral strip adventure. As you can see it took almost no time to complete and looks rather full.<br />
<br />
Floral strips are fun for just about anywhere, the arm, hand, foot, leg, and even down the middle of the back.<br />

In this bit I mixed Bahraini/Gulf florals and accents with Indian mandala pieces. Much of this design was inspired by designs found on Hennaalakhawat's instagram. I love this style and look forward to trying more designs from this region.<br />

Do you have a design in mind? Is there a certain style of henna you want (Indian, Arabic, Indo-Arabic, Gulf/Khaleeji, Moroccan, Indo-Fusion, extra)? Are you more traditional? Or are you looking for something a little bit more unique or modern?</div></div><div><br></div><div>Next, think about your budget. Bridal henna can range in price depending on the artists talents and where you live. If you want a top knotch henna artist expect to pay in the $250-$350+, but not every artist that charges in that range is worthy of those rates. </div><div><br></div><div>Once you're clear about what you want, and your budget is settled, it's time to begin the search. </div><div><br></div><div>You can start by searching locally, Google or craigslist is a great place to start. Most henna artists have a web presence of some sort, so a website/page, blog, Instagram, or Facebook page should be easy to find. Once you've seen who/what's available locally, select an artist or two that you feel meets your needs and set up a consult/meeting with them. </div><div><br></div><div>Now what if there isn't an artist in your area or those in your area aren't up to par? Search in the nearest major city. If you end up hiring an artist in another city, expect to pay extra for their travel or expect to travel to them. </div><div><br></div><div>The consult should be free of charge or very cheap. During the consult you should have the opportunity to browse the artists portfolio and see a live sample of their work. At least two happy bridal clients (not related to or friends of the artist) should be provided to you as references. You should show the artist the design you want and ask if she/he can do it. </div><div><br></div><div>You don't have to hire the first artist you consult with, but if you do consult with one and you don't hire them, a thank you but I've decided to hire another is most appreciated. </div><div><br></div><div>Once you've picked an artist, be very clear about your expectation as far as the designs, the dates, and the results you want. Expect to put down a non refundable deposit. Very few henna artists do bridal business on a handshake anymore, and more artists are using contracts these days. Contracts and deposits are part of bridal business. </div><div><br></div><div>Your artist should provide you with tips in regards to skin prep before the big day. She/he should advise you when it's appropriate to tan, have mani/pedis, waxing/shaving, or other skin treatments. All of these things affect the quality of your henna stain and the artist should advise you when to have those things done, so your henna will be its best on your special day. </div><div><br></div><div>Your artist should keep in contact with you as the date for your bridal mehndi nears. This is the best time to ask all questions and review the details you may have previously discussed. </div><div><br></div><div>On the day of the mehndi the artist should arrive on time and ready to henna. Before starting, review the design again, placement of the design, and ask questions if you have them. If you've added bridal party members, this is the time to talk about and agree on the added cost. Extra work means more money. </div><div><br></div><div>The artist needs space, good lighting, and comfortable seating. The artist may need to take short breaks to rest her/his hands. Please put away pets, little ones, or busy people that might bump you or the artist. Don't allow pushy family or friends to bully the artist or talk you into something you don't like/want. </div><div><br></div><div>Once the mehndi is complete, your aftercare has been provided, and the artist is ready to go, it's time to pay. This is not a time to haggle with the artist on what's due even if that's normal for you culturally, it may not be for the artist and is considered rude. Tipping is the norm in service industries, but not a requirement. </div><div><br></div><div>The artist should provide you with aftercare and should give you additional instructions before leaving. </div><div><br></div><div>It's always nice to send pictures taken of your mehndi on your wedding day to the artist. We love to see pictures or get feedback. You may be called upon to give a reference for the artist and we're most thankful for that. </div><div><br></div><div>In the event you're not happy, let the artist know immediately. Don't wait weeks after the application to speak up. Be clear about what you don't like or why you're unhappy. A simple I didn't like it, or my cousin could've done the same for cheaper just won't fly. Threats aren't appreciated. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Red Flags to watch for </b></div><div>• The artist has no portfolio and can't provide references. </div><div><br></div><div>•The artist doesn't mix their own henna. </div><div><br></div><div>•They're not clear on their pricing and are vague about their availability. </div><div><br></div><div>•The thief is using pictures of others work and trying to pass them off as their own. A portfolio isn't made up of pictures stolen from others. </div><div><br></div><div>•You're their first bridal. </div><div><br></div><div>• Their portfolio doesn't reflect bridal quality work, or the sample henna done during the consult doesn't match the quality in their portfolio. </div><div><br></div><div>•You can't get in touch with the artist. </div><div><br></div><div>•The artist refuses to do a consult or expects you to pay a lot for the consultation. </div><div><br></div><div>•The artist offers black henna. RUN!</div><div><br></div><div>•The artist insists on a deposit but won't provide a contract. </div><div><br></div><div><i>Please share your bridal henna experience below and artists please share tips you think are helpful to brides, that I didn't list. </i></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6513690971594109614.post-31662885729944516742013-09-28T13:10:00.000-07:002013-09-28T13:10:40.110-07:00eBook Special 9/28-9/30It seems that Eid just ended and another blessed Eid is almost upon us.

A lot going on on the home front. I finally got in my inbox and had some awesome emails and topics to cover. One topic I get questions on a lot is insurance and liability. I'm not a professional when it comes to law (laws will vary from state/state, country/country), so I always advise to consult a professional.<br />
<br />
Henna as a body art is currently not regulated in the USA. It is not a requirement to have any sort of licensing or certificate to get out there and sling mud. There are mixed views on the topic. I'm of the opinion that it should be regulated, but not to point that it becomes expensive for those who have years of experience, and not to the degree of an esthetician.<br />

So...on with the topic. I received the following email from a subscriber and below you can read both the email and my response. Let me know what you think. Leave a comment below if you agree, disagree, or have questions of your own.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My name is Ann Marie and I came across your blog while looking for the answer to a question, but checking out your blog, I think it was your video that showed me how to first make my own henna, so thank you for that! I have been henna-ing for friends and small family/friends' parties for about six years, and I recently received an offer to henna at a local beach-bar. (I never actively pursued henna-ing for money because I am a teacher, I have a main income and I just love the art, not necessarily the money). However, my reservation with doing henna for a public venue with strangers is that I am afraid of being sued if someone had a freak allergic reaction and blamed my for it. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I know that a reaction to henna is rare, I myself have never seen one in anyone I have hennaed because I only use lemon, sugar, tea-tree oil and henna (rajasthani twilight). However, I want to make sure I am covered. Do you have any recommendations/advice to avoid such an incident or put my mind at ease? I made a waiver that clients could sign, but would that be legally binding and fully protect me?</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i>
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you for any advice you might have, and thank you for your beautiful art!</span></i><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Hello Ann,</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Great questions and I'll probably turn this into a blog post. Thank you for watching the videos, I'm glad they could be of benefit. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>The first thing is ensuring that your henna paste mixture is natural and free from added chemicals, and it sounds like you have that covered. Some people are sensitive to essential oils, but very few. If there's any reaction it would most likely be from oils if at all. Tea tree is a safe oil to go with. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Now, as far as liability you would be responsible if anything should happen to one of your customers. There are two ways you can cover yourself.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>1. Insurance </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>2. A waiver</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Insurance can be a tricky one because henna isn't regulated at the moment, and so it's hard to group us under cosmetology because we aren't regulated under that umbrella. It is still possible to get insurance though and it runs about $35-$40/month with your well known insurance companies. There is a company that insures clowns, henna artists, face painters, and entertainers http://www.specialtyinsuranceagency.com/vendor-insurance.html</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>If you don't plan to make henna a regular thing I wouldn't recommend going this route, insurance is expensive and will eat into your profits. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>The waiver is a good way to go, but you'll find that potential customers might hesitate. A waiver will not fully cover you and you could still be sued if someone should decide to do so. Children and teens cannot sign legal documents and you'll find many of them approaching your booth alone for henna. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I've hennaed for 10+ years and only carried insurance part of the time. I've never been sued or threatened with a lawsuit. I always start with a customer by asking if they've every had henna before and if they have any sensitivities to the ingredients in my henna paste, if not I proceed. I henna children that are 8 or older and never henna children without their parents present and fully aware of what's going on. I'm sure you'll be fine and you might check to see if the event planners/organizers have insurance for the event and if you'd be covered under it. If you find yourself doing 10 or more events per year I'd recommend insurance, if not just have a waiver in your booth/table and make ingredients available to your customers should they ask. </i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I hope this helps and if you have any additional questions please feel free to ask. </i></span></div>

Last what? A henna artist that works for tips. I admit that this isn't the first time I've done this. The very first time was about a year ago at a henna party. Everyone there came to have their henna done by moi, and I said name your price. Some were generous and of course you'll have those few who are stingy, but hey I did say tip so they tipped. <div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUBg1FlAmrzgcS5F49YhOw8O2zui4U_IesW-WczWbM1L2MawsDqiYLQNyMIM1WFOzRREQGUw_mPi4rQCowdpHKddV4dNU4jLUGh5W7b7hn_oi-vx3gCZ8zYOr_iYHKOtrWeZt_Z-SUqvc/s640/blogger-image--904689260.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUBg1FlAmrzgcS5F49YhOw8O2zui4U_IesW-WczWbM1L2MawsDqiYLQNyMIM1WFOzRREQGUw_mPi4rQCowdpHKddV4dNU4jLUGh5W7b7hn_oi-vx3gCZ8zYOr_iYHKOtrWeZt_Z-SUqvc/s640/blogger-image--904689260.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>Last week I set up a table at a street fair type event. It was free to set up, and there were plenty of prime spots (it was 80+ that day). I kept it simple with a sign on a tip jar. Grammar Nazis feel free to jump on my sign, I usually don't make mistakes like that but I was fasting so forgive me. </div><div><br></div><div>It wasn't long before I had my first customer a whopping $9 for a $5 om symbol, a nice generous tip. I won't go tip by tip, tattoo by tattoo but by the end of the night I was happy. I pulled lots of bigger designs out of my festival design books but I must have missed one because I was on these large floral strips for about 20 minutes (I pulled it and tucked it away). I had customers pay $20 for $5 designs, and one stinker paid nothing for a $10 design. The average tip was $10/person, and I found the tips starting to thin out a bit by the end of the night. I made more than my normal hourly rate and had customers from start to finish. I'll probably try this again at this same event next month. </div><div><br></div><div>If you're a budding henna artist, hennaing for tips is a great way to get started. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
