I returned to the original recepie and have had a very nice calf
henna, not quite cigar wrapper but close! I used warm, not hot tea
and plenty of lemon and finished with 10 drops white flower oil (can
you believe the stuff was just sitting in my medicine cabinet??)
My client said she sat around playing music all night with a hot pack
on her leg, I think the music helped too ;)
I would love a copy of the patterns you are working on, right now I
am trying something a little different, I am making 'windows' with
masking tape then filling them with curls, swirls and waves that all
flow together off of all the edges of the tape. People love it!
Thanks again for the insights, Dione
