Welcome to my blog

Im exploring aspects of mehndi,designs,techniques,significance,function and historical background. I incorporate patterns that are either modern and traditional,Indian or Arabic into contemporary jewellery.

wax and water

so another option for drawing with wax on a non-stick surface besides silicone would be water,it will be exciting to see what comes out of this experiment.

 The water just pulls the liquid wax out of the wax tool,it does this in both hot and cold tap water but its alot faster in cold water.at first i thought its beacuse the wax was too liquid but then i waited for it to slightly cool and the it just makes blobs that wont stick togther because of the water.

beautiful flower/star and fan shapes began to appear created by the water drawing out the wax from the tool.







although this technique makes beautiful shapes by chance this technique will never work to create detailed mehndi patterns.
