Illustration Friday – ‘Paisley’ in authentic Heena design
When this topic ‘paisley’ was announced, I was thrilled, as this is one of my favorite design patterns. Also, I’m just back from a colorful ‘Indian Wedding’, which inspired me to illustrate ‘Heena’ ( मेंदी ) on my own palm.
The ‘paisley’ pattern is one of the inseparable design patterns found in ‘Heena’ ( मेंदी ) designs. The Mehndi ceremony is an important ritual for a bride during wedding ceremony.
Hope you all like my entry.

This is great. Weddings in India must be beautiful.
Beautiful. Also checked out your other posts… you have such a unique contribution to art… hope to more of the drawing & clay combined… cool.
Oh, how beautiful!
I do like your entry and it makes a change to see something on skin instead of paper
Thank you for sharing this traditional ritual, I love the way hands are decorated for the wedding ceremony. The images together in the various colours are very striking. I have enjoyed looking through your older posts too.
