This is the second henna design book by Akiyo Ogura. “Lavender” contains a collection of simple designs you can use for henna parties and it’s appropriate for someone who is starting to learn how to henna.

Akiyo will be offering to small henna workshops this summer, email for more information.

“Akiyo worked with two different muses to create the patterns for this book. A tribal dancer inspired earthy, organic “tiger” designs showing strength and power. A cabaret style dancer evoked an image of femininity and grace, leading to “lily” designs of a tender and sweet nature. Akiyo’s keen sense of movement and flow breathes life into the designs, making them dance onto the body in the traditions of the muses who inspired them.”
