Speaking of Festivals...

I'm going to be doing henna as a registered merchant at a large SCA
event near Phoenix, AZ this February.
I need at least 1 more artist, maybe 2 to help me, as myself and my
assistant will want SOME breaks to go play. Pay will be based on your
experience, creativity and professionalism.
The booth we are working out of is a large bedouin style low canvas
tent with many rugs, pillows and of course, cool stuff to buy, like
imported clothing, jewelry, shoes, etc., from Morroco, and tribal
style belly dance tassel belts and choli tops. We will henna in STYLE.
The event lasts from 2/15 to 2/21, costs $35ish to attend, and you
must have desert camping gear and enough medieval looking or middle
eastern/belly dance garb to last the whole time. Both warm and cold
weather garb are needed, as temperature ranges from freezing to
sweltering.
As far as I know, I will be the only henna booth there, and with an
expected crowd of at least 5000, we should be busy! There is much
drumming and dancing, as well as many, many merchants, classes, and
of course battles to watch.
Check out the Estrella War site for local info, as well as rules and
regs.
Email me privately if you are interested in more info about hennaing
with me.
Thanks-
Carrie
