ABOUT THE BOOK
USER REVIEWS
"This is the first book I've read about the fascinating art of Mehndi. It exceeded my expectations. The historical and cultural information changed my original thinking about Mehndi (it looked like something fun to do- kinda whimsical). Now I will view it as something spiritual and sacred . . something very special. I enjoyed the quotes from other books. I'll certainly be reading a few of them. There was obviously a lot of research done. It opened my eyes to at least three different cultures.
The patterns were helpful. They look intimidating at first until you see the step-by-step breakdown. After trying the suggested techniques I found it easy to make beautiful designs (and to turn mistakes into creative details). To sum things up- even though I am a novice to this, I feel the author did an excellent job of educating readers about this vanishing art. I now have the information to embark on my new adventure with good spirit and confidence!"

"I have been doing henna painting for almost two years, and in all that time, even as a new learner with a ravenous reading appitite, I NEVER found a book better than this one. Ms. Roome's writting style lets the reader experiance the art in a very personal way, and bridges the gaps between culture, art, intertainment, and spiritual expression. This book is well written, and my first (and only) recomendation for people who ask how to learn more."

"There was an unbelieveable amount of information that I could not have lived without in this book. It's the most complete book on Mehndi that I have seen yet. It deals not only with the application, but the culture and the symbolism of the art on a SPIRITUAL level. It's soon to be my Mehndi bible! Cheers!"
