This Henna page website is owned by Catherine Cartwrite Jones,she has been a henna artist and researcher since 1990,most of the information on the website is her own work.She has also done her masters in liberal studies on developing guidelines on henna: a geological approach.Most of my primary research is gained from this website.
these are some of the designs and their meanings
the patterns resemble plants,fruits,ancient symbols that have been past on through the ages from one generation to another,geometric shapes,deity impressions(flower ans petal shapes)they are appropriate for given celebrations or happy occcasions such as diwali,weddings,births,etc.The most common patterns found are lotus flowers,paisley,vines and peacocks.
