Hello, all you wonderful folks! I had a rather busy weekend with houseguests, and they all wanted to be hennaed. I finally figured out how to get a URL out of Flickr, so without further ado.....


marnanel's foot came out quite nicely, although the toes did smudge a bit. I really like the mandala on the top of the foot. Photo taken 12 hours after application.


riordon's arm came up well, too. It was a bit of a challenge hennaing a seven-year-old, but she showed remarkable patience. She did orginally want several lines of vines up her arm, but changed her mind when she saw how long it was taking. Whadda great kid. Photo taken 12 hours after application.

firinel's wrist is lovely. I adapted the pattern previously chosen by Aneh for this piece. Photo taken 8 hours after application.

This is a piece of tattoo flash I drew ages ago, but
zodarzone really liked it. He's pondering getting it as a armband. I couldn't manage to reproduce it in a band freehand, so he settled for just one. This was originally done during the Troupe Benazir henna party. Photo taken 12 hours after application. (You can still see the tape marks from sleeping with it on!)


Sunday night, I decided after all this that I wanted some henna myself. I should have thought the time frame out better, since I was quite tired at the end. I rushed myself through a bit, and the index finger and my thumb blobbed out under the tape. I should have waited longer for it to dry completely. I'm not quite sure what happened to the petroglyph in the center of my palm. It was lookin' good and totally dry when I sealed it with tape, but the next morning I had wavy edges and blobbed-together bits. Bah. Still, even though it's a simple design and somewhat smudgy, I still like it. Maybe I'll henna my toes and ankles tomorrow. Photos taken 36 hours after application.
