So, how does Gauri bring henna designs and wood-burning or painting together?
First, she chooses the perfect piece of wood (it must be smooth and blemish-free!). Next, she gets her sketch on, carefully planning the henna design to make sure it's balanced and symmetrical.
For wood-burning projects, Gauri becomes a pyrography pro, tracing the design with a special tool that burns the henna pattern into the wood.
And when it comes to hand-painted projects, Gauri uses different media (pastels, acrylics, watercolors using fine brushes, and vivid paints to bring the henna design to life.
