Kung Hei Fat Choy - A very Happy Chinese New Year!

Sara — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 14:40:14 +0000

The dragon is considered the highest-ranking animal in the Chinese animal hierarchy, strongly associated with power and majesty. It is the only mythological animal of the 12 animals that represent the Chinese calendar. 2012 is the Chinese year of the Dragon and is expected to be bringing good fortune and luck for all with it!

To welcome this new year, from the 22nd Jan to 29th Jan, Sara’s Henna will be offering free henna tattoos to all those lucky people born in the Years of the Dragon:

In the next 2 months you won’t have to venture far to get your hands on one of Sara’s Henna tattoos as we’ll be appearing in all the weekend fairs in the lead up to Christmas! Be it your neighbourhood fair, a school fair or a Charity bazaar, just look out for a booth bustling with kids of all ages and that well known black & white banner stand, and there we will be, ready to henna and always with a smile:) We were at the Parkview Charity Bazaar today and although I was only there for 4 hours, we had a great turnout at the stall!

Bridal Henna in Penang!

Sara — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 17:51:07 +0000

Over the last two years of doing henna, I’ve realized that no matter where an Indian bride lives or holds her wedding, at the end of the day her wedding will always be traditional and full of the colorful musical traditions that Indian culture is famous for. One such example was my friend’s wedding in Malaysia a few months back. With the beautiful North channel as the backdrop for her wedding mandap (a covered structure with pillars temporarily erected for the purpose of a Hindu weddings), she was every bit the true traditional Indian bride in a stunning jewel encrusted traditional ghaagra choli (traditional dress) and mehendi/henna filled hands. The henna pattern for her palms was custom designed just for her according to her taste, and the henna for the feet was improvised using the palms as inspiration & guide. The back of the hands had to be slightly rushed, so the design had more of an arabic and contemporary look.

Take a look at a few of the photos below!:)

Every henna event that I do in HK, there are always a few general questions that I get asked about henna. However, a lot of the time I can’t explain the answers properly to the local Chinese speakers. Now, after all this time, thanks to Judith I finally have the Ten Facts about Henna translated into Cantonese! Please see the facts sheet below, and you can also download the Ten Facts about Henna(Chinese) pdf for your future reference.

Festive henna designs for those special occasions!

Sara — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 15:14:10 +0000

This video is a collection of all the best henna designs I’ve done for Asian sangeets/ wedding parties and festivals. These have a variety of traditional and arabic designs ranging from very simple 5 mins patterns for sangeet parties, to half hour designs for individual festival appointments. Some designs are my original patterns, whereas others have been inspired by Asha Savla’s patterns with a touch of my own design to it.
