Jan 12th
Bride: N. R
First appointment for the year. The bride wanted a pattern with peacocks, lol I am more than happy to oblige, hehe. She went through my Asha Savla competition book and it was too much to choose from. She choose one from there and I get the palm pattern from my copy of Vivah ( I love that book sooo much), and I came up with the foot pattern ( which was easy) Henna for her took 4+ hrs. Not too bad considering I a little out of practise. Really stunning pattern. Afterwards it was henna for guests, I dont remember how many people I did, nor did I take pics of them.... but most came out pretty good.
For once I ate really well there ( I might be getting sick, appetite real big last 3 days), lol..... OMG curry potato and cabbage with sada roti and lime pepper sauce is the BEST thing ever. In the night when I took a break and they offered food, they had polourie but I went back for roti, lol.
This was a good evening. I took care of my eyes, plenty gel when needed. No one was annoying, had lots of laughs, offered advise for a freaked out mother ( lol when dont mothers get freaked out for weddings? ), looks like I MIGHT end up doing makeup for some people ( I had on some good makeup up that evening and it sold my skills :-D........ plus the bride and a good old friend remembered some of my pics..... hoping that fall through, really need the practise on other people rather than jus the money. Probably end up dressing them too....... will know by tonight( Sat 14th)....update didn't happen, OH well !!!
The only bad thing I can say was the ottoman, that I was sitting on, hurt my legs and butt (that's never happened before, lol). So by 9pm I was getting tired and irritated. I think thats when I got quiet ( which happens when I not good lol) and just wanted to go home, hehe. Changing to a chair helped tons though.
Ohhh......One of the bride's cousin had some nice hands for modelling henna. Long and big ( not in a bad way). Fingers , palm, nails proportionate to each other. Could fit plenty on those hands for a shoot. LOL, poor thing was kinda insulted when I commented on the size of her hands........ but I said it was a good thing, hehe.... nice, pretty hands, long fingers. Gonna have to remember to keep her in mind for shoots if she up for it.
