A good book for the beginning Mehndi artist. May 4, 2001
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is excellent for the aspiring Mehndi artist. It gives you a little historical and botanical information about the henna plant and it's uses. It has a very to easy follow recipe for making your own paste and practical how to designs. The book touches on the symbolic signifigance that can be bestowed in a Mehndi design. I would have liked to see maybe another page or two of symbolic designs. Overall I must say I really enjoyed the book.

I recommend this as a first book for any beginner Mehndi reader. This book allows you to decide how far you want to go with Mehndi. The book is quick and easy to read with the bare minimum of history. There are cautions and tips for beginners and general descriptions of several methods of application and types of henna. After reading this, I'm ready to proceed to more detailed Mehndi books with historical facts and symbolic meanings.

I ordered this book from the writer at her shop in LA, I live less than 30 miles from there , was treated rudely and didnt recieve the book for over 2 weeks. Loretta Roomes book is much more thorough in its research, and explanations. Its full of the grace that mehndi art should be.

It gave good historical information. I was surprised by the some of the information as far as the original uses and medicinal properties. the wook was easy to follow and is an easy reference and guide. Reading it made me want to try every example and test my skills in free hand artistry.
Excellent Buy for a beginner! September 1, 2003

This book is a friendly, easy read. For the beginner with no experience, it will make you feel comfortable. It offers advice on the history of a design, the meaning, and gives a step by step instruction on some of the more complicated looking designs. The book also offers practice exercises for those who feel they can't draw mehndi designs.
All in all, it's a good book for a beginner.
