...When I got home last night I played with the new batch of mehindi I'd mixed up, and it's finally dark enough:) I have fiery swirls on the insides of my arms, and a full moon flanked with crescents leading to swirls on my left front shoulder and chest. Tonight I should work on one more fairy, but maybe after I can add a lotus or something to an ankle...

Ms Mehindi-Maus.

Alas I have no digital cam.

Maybe I can borrow Kirby's later on. (he's a very technical coworker who hooked me on Ana's site in the first place:)

I saw the same kit at the Wedge...I considered getting it, but got a smaller one at Magus.

Tell you what...some time when you're not busy and I'm not busy, we'll get the stuff mixed up the day before, meet up for coffe or something and...mehindi party!!!

(I draw kick-ass roses and lotuses.)

What did you choose to mix the mendhi w/to make it nice and dark?

Instant coffee.:)

(It works pretty good..also the kit had eucalyptus/clove oil in a small vial to mix in while it set up overnight in a plastic bag. I'm not sure what proportions they used for it, but it only took a couple of drops per tablespoon or so of henna.)

I was going to suggest the eucalyptus/clove oil to you, but they beat me to the punch.

Altho.... I have this suggest for you: brew some coffee and let it sit about 3 days... and THEN use it!!

(That's what I finally got to work. Acutually, I take that back... it was 3 day old ESPRESSO! ;) Hey..what do you expect?? I worked in a coffee house! *teeheehee*)

I had done a large figaro/spiril-y design along my arm and hand.... in the "center" of the design was a sunburst.

My mom offered to get me a digital cam for x-mas/my birthday..I hemmed and hawed, but finally said...


Or I can take polaroid pics and beg a friend to scan them:)

Ms Eff, not as technical as she should be.:(
