THE MENDI


This is something that has been on my mind for a long time and I am so pleased that I have finally been able to do it. My earliest memories of using Mendi/Henna is of sitting in front of the television when I was younger and drawing on my skin with Mendi on my legs, arms and hands and ending up with an amalgamation of designs and prints all over my body. I just remember having to do P.E at school and the teacher just staring at my legs and arms instead of watching what everyone was doing. To be honest I don’t know how I am not tattooed all over! But in case you were thinking I was not able to do this but rather my Aunts Jayu and Poppy spending at least 2 hours drawing on my head only for the Mendi to not actually take. It was so unfortunate that the Mendi didn’t stain but it’s just another excuse to do it again! Sorry Jayu and Poppy round two is just around the corner!!!

    wow! SO beautiful, you have such amazing eyes. I think the fact that it didn't take just means you have the perfect excuse for a whole photo series of different drawings! xx
