[@scentasia]

That was absolutely gorgeous!

[@authorjessowen]

Excellent design! I look forward to purchasing the Festival Book and learning more. Thank you for sharing!

[@HennaByHeather]

Jess E. Owen Cool, I see that you did buy it! How do you like it? :)

[@authorjessowen]

Henna By Heather The designs are gorgeous! I very much appreciate the explanations and tips on pricing. I've only gotten to try out one design (on a friend) but I look forward to incorporating them more in the future. Thank you :D

[@HennaByHeather]

+Jess E. Owen Excellent!!

[@HappyVanillaAngel]

I really like that you did this video, its great for people like me who are just getting into henna, not only can I watch in real time how you do these simple designs but I can see how and where to add extra elements to make it even better. Then if I ever get into henna for business I know how much to charge! Id love to see more videos like this >.

[@kissysis]

Thank you so much for uploading this! You made it so simple and easy to do :)

[@nkk7504]

I love this, so clean. Hope I can practice enough to get it like that.

[@ShahemaTafader]

This is definitely my favourite henna video so far

[@HennaByHeather]

HMW Art Thanks!

[@southermwind]

Wow! This is such an elegant design! Thank you!

[@HennaByHeather]

Thanks, Van!

[@akashmoana-singh8453]

wow its like every time I blinked she drew something new

[@wildskies98]

these designs are so gorgeous. i love doing henna. however i think many artists overcharge their designs, based on the fact that henna paste is inexpensive. Then again, it depends on how much the paste that you buy costs/ the specific place you are working at.

[@kaekae3898]

So beautiful great work

[@huynakim7911]

so beautyful! I love it! It is amazing!

[@HennaByHeather]

+Huyn A Kim Thanks!

[@irmar]

This is just a preview, on paper, of what she would do on the skin. And it's not an ink, it's henna paste, made from the powdered leaves of the henna tree, with water and usually coffee +some henna or eucalyptus oil. You leave the paste stand overnight, then cram it into a homemade cellophane cone of which you secure the upper end with tape and cut a tiny bit of the point, so that the paste can flow more or less according to your squeeze.

[@geethanjalichampika829]

i love mehendi arts very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[@HennaByHeather]

geethanjali champika Me toooo!

[@mialikeseverything]

YOUR PRICES ARE SO GOOD HOMG i paid $30 for a little hand paisley pattern about half-palm sized.

[@yehabon]

Really Awesome

[@barbirani9533]

Thanku....it's so easy and simple and beautiful

[@rumanaakthar1405]

This is really easy to do i tried it myself thanks for making this video.

[@HennaByHeather]

No problem, Rumana. I'm glad you were able to execute it yourself! :)

[@sugarlust123]

you definitely do not overcharge. i have been charged 15 for really crappy henna designs. these are beautiful and i am learning now so i hope to be this good. i am having trouble using cones, so i use syringe applicator bottles right now but your work with the cones is amazing.. the henna glides out beautifully. do you make your own?

[@HennaByHeather]

In New England, especially Connecticut, I actually hear ALL the time from my customers how cheap my festival pricing is compared to all the other henna artists they've gone to in the past. It's all about what market you're in! Where are you located?

[@XxDustxDustxX]

That's beautiful!

[@Pandamanda827]

beautiful design!

[@saip.4542]

ur an amazing artist!!

[@madeehamm2240]

Wow,simply awesome

[@HennaByHeather]

You'd tweak it to fit the area of the body where it would go, but more or less as is, it would make a nice inner forearm or upper arm piece.

[@naweeramahmood3471]

Gorgeous!!!

[@martavlasic3084]

beautiful,more ,more sommmmmee

[@MamaLadybug95]

Love that your added price points. i never know how much to charge and always end up low balling :/

[@shashishah111]

it was mind blowing

[@HennaByHeather]

+shashi shah Well thank you - I hope it was helpful

[@katevogel8385]

Dang you are awesome great artist😄

[@HennaByHeather]

Ha, thank you so much! :)

[@katevogel8385]

Ya no prob

[@masninariza9645]

Mas

[@snowyanima6818]

heather, I've never used henna before but ive seen a lot of videos on it and I'm interested to try... any tips you could give me to help a beginner out a bit would be greatly appreciated.

[@HennaByHeather]

How did learning go? I wasn't good at checking comments 7 years ago, but hope you found the help you needed in the rest of the videos. If not, contact me via the form at ArtisticAdornment.com to let me know what sorts of classes might be of interest.

[@artpassion]

great video and the pricing outline is also good but sadly in asian country(specially indian community) they dont treat henna artist as artist but rather as handy worker and dont pay much they pay $5 reluctantly for one henna border sad but true and now many new artist happily break the market

[@HennaByHeather]

+artpassion I know - it's true. Believe me, there are plenty of events in the US where they think that paying $5 for a design is too much as well... So I just don't do those events :) :) :) I find that the best places to do henna are community festivals, art fairs, and, to a lesser degree, music festivals. And then of course private parties, too - but that's hourly rather than by the design.

[@artpassion]

yes thats the reason i stopped doing all those fairs and was mostly doing bridal and wedding and those kind of parties and strictly on hourly bases otherwise they dont value our time and make us waiting like (i dont want to use word here but hope you understand what i mean) ... its all part of work though thanks a lot for this wonderful reply

[@kennedygroff3989]

Ok that is very cool thank you so much!

[@angie-om7ng]

So good

[@lucyt7548]

Just wondering where you got the pen from? My one has a thick hole and makes it hard for detail Thanks so much x

[@HennaByHeather]

Lucy t My henna cones are the ones for sale at Artistic Adornment :)

[@BELLASHAKE]

I use to work making airbrush tattoos and this is what we charged our tattoos where stenciled unless they asked for free hand and they get really pricey. by the way where do you get the tip for this? ive been doing it with ink but I think my daughter would love me to her hanna tatts this summer

[@chaudarypikacho2782]

Beautiful

[@ainm5422]

How do you control the slow of the henna so beautifully... :O

[@coraboyd623]

Brilliant design!! What were you painting it on? :-)

[@HennaByHeather]

Paper

[@zleach131]

That was fun!!!!!

[@paucruzify]

Espectacular!!! Thanks!!!!

[@HennaByHeather]

You are very welcome, Pauline! Thank you :)

[@yasminreus3767]

I tried but mine didn't come out as good as yours you are the expert at this

[@HennaByHeather]

Yasmin Reus It takes practice! About 13 years of practice were behind me when I made this video.

[@sharmilauckiah3024]

Very beautiful i like it 😘😜😍

[@HennaByHeather]

Sharmila Uckiah Thanks!

[@kennedygroff3989]

What kind of art utensil r u using

[@HennaByHeather]

Hey guys....this is 4 years old...and the $5 and $10 price points are still right on... but technically I no longer offer $5 designs in my booth. And guess what - no one cares! Literally only two people in five long festival days, mostly at events I've done in past years, even inquired about where they went. Also, the $15 design is significantly more than what I do for $15 now. And by the time we get to what I called $20 here, it's actually a $25. At least in my booth :) Do what feels good and right for you!!

[@denikalunt4581]

can you draw that on canvases because i would like to try that and im 11

[@christianoloregnrd5531]

I Love It !!!!!!!

[@ryleekrueger6223]

Is that is a pencil, paint brush or a pen?

[@youshatdaphuckup]

it is a mehendi cone... you can google it

[@HennaByHeather]

Rylee Krueger Henna cone from Artistic Adornment

[@KuniKarin01]

What kind of pen or ink are you using!!!!!??? :)

[@cruzjose1997jc]

I think she is using the henna paste. You could get it from any local Indian store or purchase it from Amazon or eBay. I heard that it's best to make it yourself to guarantee it's natural; you should do some research on that. Oh, and the black henna is said to be dangerous because a lot of people have some sort of allergy or something, so keep your eye out on that. I'm no expert but that's just what I've heard. I don't even do henna! xD Hope it was helpful though! :)

[@HennaByHeather]

***** I am using all natural, professional quality henna from Artistic Adornment - check it out!

[@Rachna888]

what kind of festivals do you do this at ? would love to get this done by you, are you in south ?

[@HennaByHeather]

No, I'm not in the South- I do henna at festivals in the North East, staying mostly in New England. I am based in Rhode Island, so if you ever find yourself around my area, email me and we can set up an appointment :)

[@mohamedyusuf7748]

You can do at eid a muslim festival

[@HennaByHeather]

Henna By Heather Update: complete festival schedule is on my website at HennaByHeather.com

[@phillygurl323]

Where on your body would you put that?

[@laziexp]

Is it possible to ask a henna artist to make a design for you on paper? I would like to actually get an actual tattoo

[@XxDustxDustxX]

She's using Henna paste in a Cellophane or Mylar cone from the looks of it.

[@HennaByHeather]

Never stop practicing and perfecting your art :) I try not to!...

[@leenakhalafalla6496]

Perfect

[@kisharrane162]

[@juanitam7186]

thats heather i have some henna designs for my booth i think your henna are woth 20$$$

[@HennaByHeather]

Thank you :)

[@restingmammalskeep483]

I went to an event in Arkansas. They charged me 25 for a tatoo that took 5 minutes. It was completley lacking tallent and detail. Nothing like Heathers. I would gladly pay her 25 for a tatoo like this if I wasnt learning how to do it on my own.

[@kiyahzsayers3751]

hello anybody is mendi hard to do I need to do it at this school fair i think it night be hard for me. Because I have never done it before so can somebody tell me if it is hard or easy thankyou take care bye bye😃😃😃

[@pinkpeach8294]

it's easy if u practice , you can do first moroccan henna(more easy ) and u can do mehindi😊 I'm 12 (moroccan ) and I practice very well henna with syringe

[@HennaByHeather]

+Kiyahz Sayers Like anything, it takes time to learn. It wouldn't be something to do at a fair right away before you've had enough practice to gain confidence. If someone's pressuring you into it, you can show them this comment :)

[@HennaByHeather]

+Pink Peach I love your advice that it is easy if you practice :) That is the truth!!! I think that Moroccan henna is easier for you because you are more used to doing it, maybe - lots of Indian henna artists think that Moroccan style is hard! Good for you for knowing what you are passionate about at 12 years old :)

[@kiyahzsayers3751]

The🙉

[@Eudojia]

If that was slow, I have a long way to go!
