Henna Sourcebook

This is a joke. I am VERY disappointed. As spending 15 year of my life as a Graphic Designer before becoming a body artist, I can say I have seen MANY of these clip art pieces in various books, and collections. I just cannot believe this author and amazon really would try to pass this off as having anything to do with the history and traditional of henna or mendi. Very few of the designs are actually usable in henna. some of them I guess you COULD manage to do but it would take hours. Part of having ACTUAL henna designs, is they are designed to do fast. I have found more useful designs cruising the internet, than in this book. The only reason its so expensive is that the clip art is printed in embossed metallic cooper so it's looks shinny. Don't be fooled by the shine. I wasn't looking for shiney pages. I wanted content. I don't trust that information in this book is accurate or valid. I've found way better designs off of Amazon. I will be returning this book.

I think I paid a dollar for the book and 4.00 shipping so awesome for a 5.00 book. Great quick reference book for designs and quick recipe. 4 stars because I was hoping for more designs. NOT an in depth book, just a quick reference guide.

I loved the brief history of henna in the book, but the pictures are more than worth the money. I use the pictures for all sorts of things, I got some tracing paper and love to trace designs out of this book. I have used my designs for henna as well as my wood working and painting. GREAT BOOK! So many different types of pictures, from tradational India, to Egypt and native american, ancient persian and even celtic works of art!

An excellent source of henna designs. I've marked so many pages for future use that I ran out of sticky tab thingies, lol. Beautiful designs in a matte gold color, all organized by region and type. I recommend this for anyone looking for inspiration for their henna designs.FYI: the gold color of the designs is dark enough to be copied. I do that so I don't have to carry the entire book with me.

Very thorough book and step by step instructions. The pictures are clear and so it was easy for my 12 yo to follow and copy.

Not very useful. I bought this for ideas. At first it seemed great, but on second look a lot of the designs don't make sense for applying henna. The book is designed to be copies and transfer paper design onto skin, then fill in. I guess if you aren't looking for designs made of lines, loops, dots and hearts it is fine. I'm looking freehand traditional designs. I found this to be rather useless for my purposes.

An extraordinary book which I could not put down. Fascinating story; if biographical, bravo for the author. What a life was led by this woman who managed to survive through traumas which would be capable of destroying any woman of less character and strength.

Very good book, shows a lot of tattoos to try.

I love this book so much. I had worried i wasn't going to meet my expectations, however it surpassed my expectations! I'm so glad I bought it!

Beautiful book with so many designs separated into styles. Excellent print quality and thick glossy pages. Very pleased with this purchase and I would recommend to anyone looking for designs. Nice little few pages in the front about the history too.

Very basic,hardly any paisley/ traditional mehndi patterns,save your money,just check out Internet search for free download images of better quality and detail

brilliant illistrations
