Last Saturday at the library we had a full house for henna workshop provided by Samreen Junaid.  The boys and girls experienced the great fun of decorating picture frames with an ancient natural, non-toxic henna dye from the mignonette or henna tree.  To make henna, the leaves of the tree or shrub are crushed and mixed with a mild acid such as lemon or tea to create a paste which is applied using a small, cone-shaped bag.

After showing the kids how to decorate with henna, Samreen treated them all to a beautiful body art henna designs on their hands.  The girls got flowers and the boys dragons which they absolutely loved.

A local reporter also was treated to a beautiful temporary tattoo design on her hand as was I...all prettied up for the AIRdirondack Art Gala that evening.  Thank you so very much Samreen.  You are such a special lady.

And a special thank you to Creative Airdrie and ARTember for the materials in support of another fantastic Airdrie Public Library Junior Artist workshop.
