Hennaed head

Hennaed head, originally uploaded by olga_rashida.

I am a social anthropologist and henna artist located in Berlin, Germany. I specialise in floral Gulf-style patterns which are derived from Khidab paintings I saw during a field research in Yemen.

At the moment I have a client who is undergoing chemotherapy. Instead of wearing a wig she wanted me to henna her bald head with flowers. She particularly likes hibiskus and so I created for her this design in which the hibiskus is prominent.
