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 :-) ps this posting is just meant to notify every one that i have this service availble if i have offended any one i appologize
