the first is by far the most valuable resource on the web for both free patterns, history, info and much much more, catherine will even send you a FREE cd with patterns, a datebook and more..........she sent one all the way to sweden for me!!!

the second also has some nice patterns,

remember with mendhi designs its more about the process than the total end result!!

you cant really go wrong!!!

for me, doing mendhi, slowly on paper is like a meditation, i usually work from the center out and seee what appears on the paper, so please dont feel you must copy exactly a specific design:)

also if you like arabic style etc, please join, even though this is a swap to bring attention to my new group "incredible inida"

and one last thing, if you have joined this swap, thanks, also please considering joining the "incredible india group"

I also did some on my bedroom wall. Great idea!

Google Mendhi on your computer and click images and tons of images should appear on your screen. I recommend checking out various art galleries in your area there might be a mendhi or henna artist who does henna art. These artists typically have mendhi or henna books to look at. I had one done on my birthday back in January she did my whole arm of koi fish with henna, it was pretty. I'm excited to do this swap. I love henna or anything involved with mendhi. If anyone is interested in doing this swap that I'm hosting. Here it is. "Make Me Laugh" Postcards. I created one early to give everyone a chance to order or buy their funny postcards. And since the holidays are coming up I'm doing things early. If anyone would like to join please pass the word around. alt Happy swapping.
