حــنــا

Beautiful henna designs found on flickr, click the images to see more designs. I've always admired the intricacy and symmetry of this kind of ornate design. Henna is a plant based dye that stains the skin temporarily, fading from the dark colour you see above to a light reddish brown, eventually fading completely. Bridal mehndi like the above designs are usually applied for special occasions like weddings mostly on the hands and feet. Aren't they beautiful? Next time I'm considering getting a pedicure with a friend, maybe I'll suggest a henna date. Sandal seasons is quickly approaching!

Banksy

For me there is nothing better art that plays with absurdity and humour in a way that makes us look at the realities of culture.

Take a look at more of Banksy's work here.
