: That's a very good idea.
Thanks!
: I've noticed you have many good ideas, Anon, so why are you
anonymous?
: Your name isn't actually Anon, is it?
No - sorry, but I've been getting a lot of unsolicited and
objectionable e-mail (particularly advertising sex with underage
women!) and until I find out how my e-mail address got circulated, I'm
trying to avoid further potential exposure. My name & e-mail address
will become known to the more regular participants (not a problem)
when I e-mail privately or send Jeremy a check, but I don't want them
posted.
Besides, "anon" also means "right away". I enjoy double
meanings. :-)

I've done it with some celtic knotwork in a two-strand design. Well,
okay, first I used a bit of food color (blue) on the *other* strand so
I wouldn't goof, then used a brief henna application on the one I
wanted to be colored. It wasn't as satisfactory as I would have liked
(the blue actually was more interesting), but it was a good proof of
concept and I think it has potential. The problem is that you have to
be very neat and deliberate, or else it just looks like a mistake or
"bleeding" of color. I tried using a brief second application in dots
- something like "half-tone" - and I think this is a good way to go.
