Crysti Couture

Back in January, I painted a custom Henna piece for my friend at the time, Perla Alyssa, since it was her birthday and she has a bit of Persian blood in her lineage. Of course, henna is not Persian tradition per se, but I thought that perhaps a little Moorish art might be appreciated.

Since that time, I have wanted to attempt a Henna pattern again, this time I did it with the color scheme reversed; black on red this time.

It took me 3 days to complete this work. I re-purposed a wooden silverware case I found in a second hand shop a long time ago. The painting is completely in Acrylic and finished off in three coats of Liquitex Gloss Varnish.
