Artist Background
Kala began working with henna around 2002. After spending some time practicing and experimenting she formed Eden Henna in 2004. She had previously designed tattoos for 6 years but found the medium too permanent. Kala started experimenting with gilding in the summer of 2006 and integrated it into the company that fall.
Kala is a university student and moves to various locations with in Canada every 4 months due to co-op placements. She also tutors highschool level maths and sciences as well as making jewelry and household decorations, website coming soon. During the winter Kala teaches skiing during weekends at the local ski hill.
Designs
Eden henna has a portfolio of over 700 different designs. Patterns include tribal, Celtic and traditional Indian styles. Since the paste and adhesive is applied free hand, the designs in the book maybe altered or you can choose to bring your own design ideas and discuss them with the artist. Designs can be matched to the pattern of your evening dress or to accent a Halloween costume. Washable markers are occasionally used to layout the design on the skin to ensure symmetry and proportionality.
