For my mother, whose shringar has filled my life with constant
sweetness and light. I love you. |
| I'd like to thank all the people who have contributed to the creation of this book. First my brother Hal, who willingly posed for us and supplied me with three lovely Mehndi models: Vanessa Iaffa, Hope Dector, and Michelle Rabinowitz. Thanks also to Kimbi Yates for modeling for the book. Thanks to Stephanie Rudloe, the finest Mehndi artist in New York City, for lending us her talent and time. (Her designs grace these pages). Special thanks to Kiki Tom, photographer and web mistress extraodinaire, for shooting a second book with me. Thanks also to Jivmukti Yoga Center in New York City for letting me observe the mystical Mehndi party that took place in the spring of 1999. And of course, to my loved ones: Dad, Sherene, Liz G., Nance, Jodi, Liz S., Ora, Zig, Jaimie, Missy, Lynn, and Rachelle. And finally, thanks to the women of the East whose divine love and light have inspired the timeless art that is Mehndi. |
