Henna
Body Art and Belly Casting
Being
pregnant is a time in a womans' life to celebrate. Acknowledging
your own special beauty can help you feel more confident and comfortable
with your pregnant body. While you may feel uncomfortable and
ungainly, a beautiful henna design can help you remember what a special
time it is in your life and what a wonderful thing your body is
doing. A belly cast can bring back the memories of this wondrous
time in your life. Young children also find it fascinating to see an
impression of the bellies they "lived in".
You
do not need to be my doula client in order to have a henna design or belly
cast done. I do individual appointments as well as private parties.
Consider
hiring me for:
Baby
showers
Bridal
showers
Bachelorette
parties
Blessingways
Slumber
parties
Birthday
parties
or
any gathering.
While
the henna in these pictures look dark, it is because most of them are
taken with the henna paste still on. The paste is actually a dark
brown, greenish color. I do not use black henna.
I
ONLY use all natural, safe henna from a Certified Henna Dealer. I do
not use "black henna" which contains para-phenylenediamine (PPD).
If interested in the dangers of black "henna" you can read this
page for more information. The

I
can do anything from simple "festival" designs to individual,
intricate body art.
Henna
in pictures are taken with paste on.
Since
I do henna way more often then I care to update my website, please see my
complete albums at Flickr. Feel free to leave a comment.
