More About the Author
Marty is from a family of artists going back several generations. Raised in Santa Barbara, she pursued her creative interests from an early age, settling on the batik technique in the early 60's. From simple pieces the work grew into very detailed paintings earning her a reputation is area galleries as well as in the illustration field. In 1980 she switched to watercolor and pursued opportunities with art publishing firms and has since enjoyed seeing her designs used as book illustration, posters, puzzles, greeting cards, plate designs and calendars. Her primary focus in the last 15 years has been as an illustrator for Dover Publications where she has had 230 books published that include a series of coloring books of many of the famous painters and art movements as well as a variety of design and activity books for artists and children, Marty lives in Anna Maria Florida, where she finds continual inspiration for her current series of photo art prints. Her passion for photography and mastery of computer art programs have enabled her to marry the two in her recent print series depicting the natural beauty of southern Florida

This review is from: Mehndi Designs: Traditional Henna Body Art (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
These are really intricate and beautiful henna patterns that can be enlarged (but not necessarily) so you can duplicate them on your hands & feet. They might even inspire permanent tattoos!!

Amazingly Good,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mehndi Designs: Traditional Henna Body Art (Dover Pictorial Archive) (Paperback)
Great book packed with elaborate and intricate designs which vary greatly from the basic and silly designs offered by many "Henna artists" seen at fairs and festivals. Stunningly fast shipment--received the day after ordering, having purchased only snail mail. Product is worth that which was paid, and is a great value!
