New Shop for Beautiful Indian Jewelry

I love the nose rings they have for sale at this new shop!

Of course there are lots of other fine jewels, such as anklets, Buddhist jewelry, Indian gold Jewerly, Hindu jewelry, and more.

This affiliate shop is "Exotic India" and they have published all their shipping information, guarantees etc. on their site.

I have note decided which item will be my first purchase, but hope you will post a comment to share your experience with this new store.

Introduction to Henna Tattoo Video

Here is a fun little video that answers many of the questions I am frequently asked about henna tattoo.

It is almost warm enough - I hope - to start offering henna again. Meanwhile... here is a little video to enjoy. Namaste

Henna Tattoo Pattern Booklets from India

Here is a lovely little henna pattern booklet that is for sale at Spirit Vision Henna. Click the title of this post to purchase this book, or others like it. I have learned so much about traditional henna design by studying these little collections.

When I first saw many of the patterns in booklets like this one, I was overwhelmed! Henna presented a new way of thinking about line, movement, pattern & space... it was dazzling. As well, it was hard for me to know where to start a pattern, how to lay it out and of course how to create all that intricate detail without making a smudgy mess of it all.

Over the past six years, I have come to know that the quality & thickness of the paste makes all the difference... not only in easy of application, the ability to draw fine lines, but also in the final color. Thus, the quality and freshness of the henna powder are essential to a good outcome. I still use Jamila Henna mixed with lemon juice, essential oils & my spiced henna tea to make a fragrant paste that goes on quickly.

I am please to have been able to import a good collection of henna pattern books. If you don't like this one, stop by my site to see the others. Namaste!

It's just too cold for henna tattoo!

I had hoped to start the henna season early this year... and I may well be able to do so. However, as of this posting, it's 28 degrees, and tomorrow's temperature promises a high of 58.

We will not be at Midnight Sun this Saturday, 1/17/09! Perhaps next week. Until then, enjoy the work of a very talented artist!

Henna - Saturday, January 10, 2009 at the Midnight Sun

Spirit Vision Henna will be offering henna tattoo from 12:30 PM until... this Saturday at the Midnight Sun.
Please stop by 1050 Park Street, Five Points, Riverside, Jacksonville Florida is you are in the mood for a bit of body adornment.

This is a good time of year for a little henna jewel on the palm or back of the hand. Henna gives the darkest color in these locations, especially during the winter months.

( I know.. we don't really have winter in Florida, but henna is a heat activated body dye, so the warm weather ensures that you will have the darkest henna possible.)
