Welcome to my blog

Surinder Marbha

about  Marbha's work I wanted to know the materials she uses and the process of mehndi and she says
"Well, my primary medium is mehendi or henna – which is a tropical plant, whose leaves are crushed and made into a powder. I mix this powder to create a paste, that has staining properties and hence used for body art. It is a safe and healthy way to decorate your body!

I've been practicing this art for probably 20 years now, and still love every minute of it! "
