Elaborate Indonesian Feather Stroke Mehndi Design for Foot

A captivating indonesian mehndi design tailored for the foot, featuring mandala and feather stroke. Rated as Medium, this pattern is perfect for a party.

The soles take henna as well as the palms do, while the top of the foot stains lighter. Stay seated and avoid walking until the paste has dried completely. This pattern suits someone who is already comfortable with basic lines, dots and petals and wants to practise even spacing.

The traditional practice is to stain the bride's fingertips and nails red, not to draw fine patterns. Modern Indonesian bridal henna often borrows Arabic and Indian layouts and is sometimes done in white body paint, which is not true henna.

Application tips: Keep modern lace-style designs fine and light, with thin lines and small motifs. White henna is a body paint that sits on the skin; it does not stain and washes off within days.
