Project Description
This bridal mehndi foot design is STUNNING, right?? Let’s talk a moment about reasonable expectations, though.
This leg ALONE took almost two hours to complete. If you are looking for this much bridal henna on both hands *and* feet, you will need a team of multiple artists OR to space your henna out over two days. In fact, we were going to do the second foot the following day in this case, which is why you see just one foot and leg featured here.
Having this much henna on the feet is highly uncommon. This piece was done in preparation for the world’s largest henna artist conference as a showpiece to get attention and create buzz – and boy did it!
It takes about half as long to do the same amount of coverage on the hands vs the legs, due to both the differences in size and the fact that your artist can sit much more comfortably and with better posture while doing hands. Also, to cover all of what can be seen from one angle of the feet, there are really three planes of skin to cover – whereas on the hands, there is really just one angle per side of the hand. So, as a professional henna artist, I highly recommend that you either focus EXCLUSIVELY on the feet if you’re going to get this much henna on your legs, or that we give you a design this fabulous on your hands and arms with something simpler the leg/foot.
It was an honor to have my work featured on the front page of the Patterson Irrigator when the Spring Fling Henna Conference, the world’s largest and longest running international henna conference, was held there. I was scheduled to teach Mauritanian henna that year, but actually had to leave the first day of the conference due to a death in the family, so the foot on the right here was a student attendee’s copy of my work.
