Teenager commercialises henna art :: Mmegi Online

Henna body, which is normally applied on Indian and other Asian women’s bodies during festivals and ceremonies such as bridal celebrations, is one form of art that is not very common in the country except for those that apply it for traditional and religious purposes.

Artistic 19-year-old Natasha ‘Daey’ Letshabo has found a niche as a body artist that specialises on henna art. In a brief description, henna art is body art of various patterns applied on human body using henna inks, which stay on the human skin for a certain period of time.

“I have always been an artist specialising on drawing, painting and crafts. Upon learning about henna from my mother who came with henna ink from Singapore, I learnt to work on it and decided to major on it because its something different within our local art industry and there aren’t many people who practice it,” said Letshabo who is already operating under her company name Daey Creations.
