Henna Hand Stencils Biography

Many new henna artists feel they can't draw, and feel the opportunity to make money with henna is highly attractive, so they ask about using stencils. To aid this, I got out a henna stencil and started to do a "how to". I looked through stencils I'd accumulated. There are many stencils available, both ethnic and contemporary. There are beautiful hand cut stencils from Yemen and Morocco, which work well with unsifted henna. Every time I go to my local Middle Eastern market, the shopkeeper tries to hustle stencils to me, pointing out that stencils would be so much more efficient than my meticulous hand drawn henna work.
In short, I gave up, and spent the next half hour trying every solvent in the house to get the glue off my arm. I have heard that these stencils are wonderful for stenciling wall patterns when you're repainting a room! That's probably a much better use for them.
There is nothing as valuable to the henna artist, or any other artist, as curiosity and willingness to to look around and be excited by the beauty all around you! Look at everything: books, textiles, flowers, bits of wallpaper and corners of old carpets .... let them fire your imagination and start drawing. Keep templates of hands and feet so you can sketch everytime you have an idea! Develop your ideas, play with them ... you'll be suprised how quickly you develop a notebook of henna patterns, and how beautiful they'll be! You can learn to do henna in 10 minutes, but you'll keep learning the rest of your life!
Henna is a tall shrub or small tree, standing 1.8 to 7.6 m (5 ft 10 in to 24 ft 10 in) tall. It is glabrous and multi-branched, with spine-tipped branchlets. The leaves grow opposite each other on the stem and are glabrous, sub-sessile, elliptical, and lanceolate (long and wider in the middle; average dimensions are 1.5–5.0 cm x 0.5–2 cm or 0.6–2 in x 0.2–0.8 in), acuminate (tapering to a long point), and have depressed veins on the dorsal surface.[2] Henna flowers have four sepals and a 2 mm (0.079 in) calyx tube, with 3 mm (0.12 in) spread lobes. Its petals are obvate, with white or red stamens found in pairs on the rim of the calyx tube. The ovary is four-celled, 5 mm (0.20 in) long, and erect. Henna fruits are small, brownish capsules, 4–8 mm (0.16–0.31 in) in diameter, with 32–49 seeds per fruit, and open irregularly into four splits.
