Mahmuda, our resident bangladeshi-american, was applying henna when Angela and I returned from our 3-day weekend getaway this evening...which means that most of our time tonight was spent thinking of different designs we could draw on our hands and then typing up lesson plans with our other free hand while the henna was drying.
by the time i get back to the US, i'll be a henna expert.
Angela henna'ing mahmuda's hand
angela and mahmuda's hands - drying
the palm of my hand en process...ps - once this stuff dries...it gets kinda itchy. i can only imagine what it's like for brides on their wedding day (it's tradition for brides to have elaborate henna applied all over their arms and legs for their wedding...eek)
the finished product
(i'll update y'all on my student's reaction tomorrow in class...)
