Mehndi

 
I love the colors of a traditional Indian wedding and the fabulous mehndi tattoos!
 
This collage celebrates the bridal mehndi, a henna tattoo applied to both the feet, hands and upper arms of the bride. See video below for how it's done...fascinating!!
 
 
 
Done for Digital Whisper's challenge - FEET.
 
Image of the feet found on Pixabay.com, the background from my digi collections as
well as the border brushes and jewels.

  6. This art piece is amazing, Marilyn. How beautiful! I never knew that the henna tattoos were applied to the feet. Interesting. BTW, I notice you are in Saskatchewan and therefore a neighbour. I live in Brandon, Manitoba. Where are you in Saskatchewan?
