Henna, Self Taught

My new book is about to hit the presses for the first limited edition private run in 2009. So many emails and questions have come my way over the last several months that I pursued pulling together a book of "how to teach yourself the art of henna tattooing." Now that book is finally near completion. See the dust cover below ...as well as the first few pages.









The book measures 7in x 7in and will be at least 25 pages in length, it is in full color with photo examples and step-by-step instruction on "how-to"teach yourself the art of Henna tattooing.

This book includes my favorite tried and true recipe for henna paste, how to roll Mylar cone for henna application and more than a dozen Bajidoo original Henna designs for the hands and feet.

The publishing date is now set at June 12, with 2 to 3 weeks for delivery once an order is placed. The Book will be available in soft and hard cover. For more information feel free to email me directly:

Eastern Spice

Sweltering heat, sun baked earth and sand, sporatic plam trees peppering the landscape.... you can almost taste dried dates and fresh figs. The coffee is strong and sweet, in the markets the smell of spice is hangs thick in the air.


When the sun dies down and night sky blankets the horizon, the music raises up and the celebrations begin. It's here in the images set forth on this hand painted bangle, which has been created in a style reminiscent of the old world tapestries.
