Kung Hei Fat Choy – A very Happy Chinese New Year!

The dragon is considered the highest-ranking animal in the Chinese animal hierarchy, strongly associated with power and majesty. It is the only mythological animal of the 12 animals that represent the Chinese calendar. 2012 is the Chinese year of the Dragon and is expected to be bringing good fortune and luck for all with it!

To welcome this new year, from the 22nd Jan to 29th Jan, Sara’s Henna will be offering free henna tattoos to all those lucky people born in the Years of the Dragon:
1904 * 1916 * 1928 * 1940 * 1952 * 1964 * 1976 * 1988 * 2000

A Henna tattoo tribute to Steve Jobs!

A few days ago I was approached by a client asking if I could do portraits in henna. I had only tried this twice before so I was extremely nervous. However, I was very touched by his motive behind this portrait. He’s taking part in the Oxfam Trailwalker, and wanted a portrait of his father on one forearm, and another tattoo of the Steve Jobs tribute apple design on the other arm. I thought I would share this henna tattoo tribute to Steve Jobs with you! What do you think?:)

HKD11,340 raised from the ‘Positively Pink’ Fundraiser for Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign!

It’s amazing how after weeks of hard work, time and effort organizing an event, the actual event goes by within a blink of an eye! I had a great time organizing this fundraiser with Sweet Soirees, and was happy that all our hard work paid off as the event went really smoothly without any hiccups! Although the turnout could have been better with more promotion time, the people who did attend the event went away happy with good memories, souvenirs and christmas presents bought at our Auction! A big thank you to all our guests and our lovely sponsors!! Without your support and help we would have never raised the hefty sum of HKD 11,340! This money has been donated to the HK Cancer Fund (who were our beneficiary) and this money will go towards providing free cancer care services for patients who can’t afford the care in HK otherwise! Please take a look at some of the photos below, and all the photos from the event can be found here! You can also take a look at all the HK Photobox prints here!

Bridal Henna in Penang!

Over the last two years of doing henna, I’ve realized that no matter where an Indian bride lives or holds her wedding, at the end of the day her wedding will always be traditional and full of the colorful musical traditions that Indian culture is famous for. One such example was my friend’s wedding in Malaysia a few months back. With the beautiful North channel as the backdrop for her wedding mandap (a covered structure with pillars temporarily erected for the purpose of a Hindu weddings), she was every bit the true traditional Indian bride in a stunning jewel encrusted traditional ghaagra choli (traditional dress) and mehendi/henna filled hands. The henna pattern for her palms was custom designed just for her according to her taste, and the henna for the feet was improvised using the palms as inspiration & guide. The back of the hands had to be slightly rushed, so the design had more of an arabic and contemporary look.

Take a look at a few of the photos below!:)
