Research question
How am I going to use mehndi to make jewellery derived from
indian bridal jewellery?
# im trying to achieve the look of mehndi in my jewellery,
by using mehndi application techniques.
#trying to achieve the mehndi look of paste that’s just been
applied to the skin,2D but want to make 3D jewellery
# trying to get that raised design, that blobby texture.
# im trying to use
the cone application technique of mehndi by means of finding the right sort of tools to
create patterns that can be casted.
# im using stamps to
design jewellery,which is another Mehndi application technique.

stamping with mehndi
figure 1 (stamps,mehndi and patterns)
I used the stamps that I made from piercing patterns off vinyl tiles. I then glued them onto clear perspex so that the actual stamp is visible when patterns are being stamped. I wanted to see if these stamps are successful and stamps the patterns. I used mehndi out of the tube I coloured each stamp and then pressed it onto paper as shown in figure 1
Now that I know the stamps work I need to find handles for these stamps.At first I wanted to use a nail,with the head being glued at the back of the stamp and a glass bead at the end. I got some wooden dowel pins and wanted to use those instead like shown in figure 2 below.
