This book on henna was a real great intro for me, as i am an artist and wanted to do henna for my friends and family...i learned a little history, how to mix henna, about henna paste, found shortcuts to drawing henna designs and had many designs for my friends to choose from. Recommended for a starter book and i keep returning to it for design reference.
