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.
