Hi just a note incase if any one is interested.... i picked up a
thermafax machine and i can print up any paper stencil that fits on a
8x10 sheet of paper. With the paper stencils you cannot use them the
same way as a tattoo artist uses them. a tattoo artist uses deoderant
and that wont work for henna,.... but Eucaluptus oil does:-). what
you do is clean the skin , smear on some eucaluptus oil on and wipe
off excess , but leave enough on so skin is kind of shiney. then
place the stencil...the purple carbon will leave a light purple mark
to follow ( and saves lots of time). this is excellent for symetrical
and celtic designs. And the purple part does not affect the design i
tested it. I had a spot with the stencil, and one with out, and one
spot using rubbing alcohol and the stencil(using the alcohol worked
but the design was lighter). the thremafax paper stencils work great
with the colored hennas too. The colored henna i carry tends to
leave a stain even if on the skin for a second, but following the
stencils helps eliminate any mistakes(the colored henna i carry is
safe so it only lasts 3-7 days depending on skintype and
climate).Also I got 3 uses out of the stencil. So if you want make up
an 8x10 sheet of whatever designs you want (Catherine C. Jones Has
some real beautiful patterns if you need some ideas) send it with a
SASE (self adressed stamped envelop) with $3 for first sheet $2 each
additional to
Castle Art & Import
1525 S. Webster Ave
Green BAy WI
54301

or if your just want to try the stecils out and have no specific
desighn ideas ...just send SASE to above address with $1 handling fee
and i will send a sample sheet for you to try.

thanks
Amy :-)
