Скачать или смотреть Hennaing a Drum (circa 2011!) - Dragonfly Henna

Natural henna has been used for thousands of years to beautify the body. It has also been used to naturally adorn the heads of drums.

In this case, the victim of my creativity was the unbleached goat hide on a large djembe. This djembe is under the care of Nate Miller and can be seen in action here:    • Emanate 7 ~ The Spiritual Music of Nate Mi...   -- You can see how the henna stain has darkened over the years (at ~1:10 into his video). Check out Nate at http://www.emanate7.com !

I have been a professional henna artist since 2003, but this was my first drum. I'm open to taking on commissioned pieces for clients who want to co-create something beautiful on their drums.

Thanks for watching! -- Larissa

Note from Larissa in 2025: I created this video back when I was playing with a few business identities, one of which was Atlantic Henna (because I had just relocated to New Brunswick). Fast forward a decade or so, and I'm still doing henna, and settled with Dragonfly Henna as the forever brand for my henna adventures.

(Thanks also to Andre for helping me finally get this together!)
