Am I A Hennah Artist 🫣?

Am i a heenah artist?
Haha, no but i love to apply Heenah or you can also call it Mehndi.
From Childhood, i love to have my hands covered in beautiful designs of hennah. On every festival, i with my both sisters used to went to a Hennah Artist. Seeing the bright colours of hennah on hands used to be the most exciting part ever. Although it was a tiring task too, but the results always dominanted the tiredness.

I Learned applying hennah when was 16 years Old. From applying it to tiny hands to biger one, it improved for sure. It demands more practice to achieve neatness and definitely beauty. But there is a small tragedy of learning how to apply it from loving to have it applied.

STORY TIME

During festival days, Hennah Artists used to be alot of busy. Too many clients means you have to wait a bit longer. I hate waiting, but for heenah had to bear it. But sometime even after waiting hours, i used to return home with sad face. I used to go with my elder sister. She was young and i was kiddo. After dealing with so many clients, when our turns used to come my elder sister always used to have her arm and hands covered in beautiful and long design of hennah, but in comparison to her as i was a kid she only used to apply mini design on my hands. So many times i complained about it, but she never listened to me ( an innocent kido :( hahah ).

One day when i came back to home with a sad face, mother got furious. She asked my elder sister to learn it by herself and apply on my hands. She started practicing it on a mirror. Because if you want to learn how to apply hennah, the way is to practice it on a mirror. So that, it is way to easy to remove it or clean it for the next practice. When she used to practice i also followed her. Along with her, i also learned it. After learning, i realized it was never a difficult task.

For my trials, i first applied it on a 7 years old kid's hand. Her mini hands were the best for my first and mini design. In the start i lacked neatness and my speed was way to slow. But gradually it improved with more and more practice.

From staring simple to complex designs, it took me an almost a year. Instead of having my hands applied by my sister, now it was me who used to apply hennah on her hands. Now i was the artist. Hahaha ..! Table turned for sure . Now it was the time to make my own self happy. I first applied it with a medium design. Not much clean and neat but still enough good to make me happy.

I didn't stop there. I knew that one day, i will achieve the perfection. So, i practiced more and more. And gradually it became more and more good.

These are all of my designs. Although i copied them from Pinterest but the effort behind applying it was obviously was mine. Wait ..! The story don't end here. I am not a easy chick to stop so easily. I was craving for more and more mastery hahaha .! One day i thought i can apply these, i should try applying more heavy and comples designs as the bridal ones.

Last weekend when i went to my cousin's place. My cousin asked me if i am free to apply hennah on her hands. I said why not?? But i asked her that i wann practice a heavy design but its going to be my first try. She said, sure no problem at all. I selected a few designs from Pinterest and merged two to three of them in my mind to create a beautiful one. It took me one and half an hour to apply a heavy a design. I was slow but the neatness said it all. I myself couldn't believe that it was me who did this.

Wao, isn't it beautiful? Yeah for sure.

Does anyone of you also love hennah/mehndi?

Now , i believe nothing is impossible. Everything needs practice and you efforts. It all about your mind. Taking the first initiative and preparing you mind ti start something is the biggest task. But when your mind accepts and took and initiative, nothing is impossible. Even failure doesn't matter if you are giving you best. Things take time,but eventually a stage comes when you start seeing the light of success in you tasks. And succhess after failure has more good taste than alone.
