Illustration Friday - Feet

Here is some henna work that I did about a year and a half ago. My mother in law got re-married and, at the time, I was messing around with henna, which is some pretty fun stuff to work with, because it's so forgiving and fast, but then it can last like a week to 10 days. Anyway, I did the work on her feet (which fits this week's topic) based on what I guess to be a pretty traditional style - I downloaded the pattern from the place where I bought the henna mud. Anyway here are the before and after pictures.

Here are the after pictures of her feet to show how dark the mud stains.






Here is the work that I did on her hands, which was not as traditional as the footwork, but I did find it on the same site. It was more of an ivy motif, but it was still very fun to do since I used a pattern as a guide for how to shape the leaves, but I pretty much improvised the layout on her hands. Enjoy!

If you're interested in checking it out, I buy my stuff from the following link. It's good fun and they have pretty much anything you need to get started with henna.
