I knew very early, how I want to design that page ... then finally I felt inspired to finally make it. For the background I used yellow and red 'Strohseide', on a seperate piece of paper I traced my hand and draw the Mehndi with a brown Stabilo pen. Add some shadows and ribbons ... and that's it!
Originally I also wanted to add some gemstones, but for my taste it would have been to much! Hope you like it?!?
P.S. I tried to find out, what's the correct English term for 'Strohseide', word by word translation would be 'straw silk'. It's silky, transparent and fibrous, like pieces of straw were woven in silky paper.
Strohseide is a washi made from the paper mulberry, my friend :-)
@Meep: Okay, I had to check two words before I could even understand, what you wanted to say ... shame on my English skills! *sigh* Anyway, thanks for your information!
Hey, how many WTJ pages are there? seems like 1 million! That means, ONE MILLION ideas to come up with ;-) I have your email (of course) but I will be out of town until Tuesday. I will write you from the hotel if I can. If not, then I will just write once home!!! Nice henna! Did you design it?
@Bri: Well, this little unimposing journal contains unbelievable 97 instructions! This far I've done 80, means 17 remaining ... and some of those 17 are in need of the help of some friends! *blink-wink-in-your-direction*
A little google research delivered a few ideas, but the henna design is finally made be me! *big-smiles*
Lovely, Karin, simply lovely :)
@Icyfire Whitelily: Thanks, dear! :-)
