Hey again,
Ever get the feeling that some people just never read Jeremy's nice
intro on the top of this page?
I have learned *so* much about traditional henna from this forum, and
the questions on the street (so to speak) that I get are about
traditional henna (perhaps in untraditional patterns, 'cause I'm not
overly good at the intricate stuff) - I always refer people to this
page because it is such a rich resource.
--Anne, who actually got to henna her mom's foot the other night and
it turned out pretty good too even though the straight lines ended up
a little squiggly
: Although people will inevitably drop onto this forum with questions
: about black henna, and its reasonable to answer their questions
: briefly, it is, if I understand the intention here, set up for the
: purpose of exploring the history, techniques and traditions of
: TRADITIONAL HENNA.
: There are enough complexities with traditional henna, and enough
: enthusiasts for it to keep this forum very busy....and distractions
: away from the topic onto black and colored hennaes are often
: contentious, bewildering to newcomers and not helpful to
traditional
: practitioners. PPD black henna is best discussed elsewhere. If you
: are a ppd black henna artist, surely there is a better place to
: discuss the techniques and problems than on this forum. Go there.
