I've been in charged all my life and I guess the magic wand clicked me about ten years ago and this is just the right time because I met a makeup artist and she said she signed up for this henna course but she really don’t want to go. And just the day before I really had this great passion about henna, I don’t know what it was, it was just this feeling and the passion that I had. I really wanted to like take it further. I said, brilliant I’ve got to go for it.
That was just the beginning. I mean it was just like a few days worth and after that I took it in further. I should learn in India for about 17 days and I did body painting and a bit of Mindi, as well as bit of sharpening here and there. And I took Mindi a lot further after that really.
Tonight we have some entertainment coming over. We've got three ladies who are going to singing and dancing and obviously food and drinks for the rest of the evening so.
We have decided to go for the traditional touch and I’d say one in 50 brides in this country ask for the traditional look. But what we’ve done is a bit of contemporary look on the other side and the traditional look on the palms. And we’re going to put story into it and we can have the groom on one hand and the bride on the other hand as well.
Working on a blank canvass and just ruling the design is really something I love doing so much. And I like for inspiration and sort of like unique design I like their input as well like something from their outfit that they particularly like or some designs or particular shapers that they particularly like as well and incorporating that into the design is something I like doing. That way we create very different for the bride.
I like flowers and swirls and it has got the intricacy in there as well. It’s not too heavy, not too light. So I think it actually satisfy a lot of the brides that I do. And you hear about all sorts, you can do lots of things to make the color darker. But I mean with the Mindi I make I go into the color anyway. It’s going to be 100% dark. They say the darker the color of Mindi the more your mother-in-law loves you or your husband loves you. I think it has to do with happiness. If you are happy then your heart is warm and your blood is raising, so then maybe that is true.
Basically, my bridal packages are from 145 Pounds onwards and I do like various packages just to suit every bride. And I've got world bridal package as well or the basic one which is the classic bridal package because it all depends in the simplicity of the design that the bride wants or the very intricate complicated designs.
It’s the traditional Mindi that we’ve just done and we’ve finally finished. It has taken about 4 hours to do and I've spent time in detail and intricacy and obviously doing the figure work and also the gems I've put on. It’s the first time actually I've done that.
