...As I gave myself a once over in the mirror, checked my lipstick and hair tied tightly behind in reverence to the summer - I said to myself, a page-3 style black whacky bindi is lacking!
The over enthu me who would take pains to get a friend painstakingly "draw" a different bindi everyday using an eyeliner! And then I would go on to record the design for posterity!
And then I discovered the computer bindis- the black pre-cut bindis in such designs and used them with great abandon as my drawing skills are too limited.
When "health awareness" happened I came to the conclusion that only Shilpa bindis are good as the sticker used in them is clinically tested. So henceforth it was just round bindis which became very boring and started causing a white mark on the forehead... so the bindi was chucked out cold turkey.
Until today when I decided- why not try my hand at drawing the bindi-
So here is the first one...self designed and drawn!

Tejas has your eyes
AA_MOM- no no not 87-88 - the diary is an old one

Very cool. I don't even have a skill to draw the eye line - with the pencil even :(
design looks like an olympic torch bearer, nice work. Great that you had time and patience during the morning hours-:)
LOL! You look so pretty, Itchy.
It's easy, na, drawing your own? I draw one line and base the rest of the design around it.
oh very pretty i used to draw them too
may be i should get inspired and start again too
it's actually fun
i loosely base the designs on the prints on what I am wearing.. and yeah draw a basic dot or curve or line and just follow your heart!
ro - actually practice and u will be fine- at one point i cud not move the eyeliner on the forehead at all...
