Everyone loves a beautiful view of a landscape. A talented artist can capture that view perfectly, and also "stylize" it so it is flawlessly perfect. It is a joy to look at the finished painting. Everyone wants it, so they can look at it again and again. It speaks to something deep inside us. All part of what makes landscape art so appealing.
you can have henna art on lots of different places on your body such as you hand, arm, back, ankles and feet.
Its a temporary tattoo made by dye from the henna plant .Henna has been used for body art and hair dye for years.
Henna is a naturally occurring dye that is used to dye hair. What makes henna so unique is that it does not damage the hair, and looks completely natural. The color range that henna dyes hair is between auburn to burgundy.
Henna is an Arabic word related to the plant, and body art medium, but also means 'strange' in Japanese as well
because they will have the hair saved off where ever they wanted the henna. and because it makes them look gay.
You can buy it from your local Asian shops/area just ask for it.
It is not quite the same, if you speak about natural plain henna powder, there`s powder in body art quality and powder for hair. Body art quality henna is made of leaves that were picked from the top of the plant. These were exposed to the sun a lot and therefore contain a lot of the dye molecule that you need for a satisfying colour. Henna for hair is made of leaves and plant parts that don`t contain as much dye molecules. If you dye your skin with that henna the stain won`t be dark. Those henna for hair products that you can buy from beauty suppliers mostly contain a lot of other stuff and little if any henna at all. Most of them even contain chemicals and should not be put on skin.
