To Catherine-just curious about how you create your designs

Posted by Carrie on February 05, 2000 at 17:26:00:

So I've wondered how you get your henna designs all nice and clean. I
mean, are you using any special graphics software? Do you have a
"hand" template you import from time to time?

I mean, I've tried to build things on Corel 7, but I must just lack
huge reserves of patience OR time, apparently.

I've drawn out a few hand styles in Corel, one that makes the "OK"
motion, one in a mudra I can't recall the name of. They are mostly
for my portfolio, and I'll just print out the blank hand and draw a
henna design onto it using a brick red marker. But those line
drawings took me HOURS of fiddling.

Or is it possible you actually (gasp) draw these deisgns by hand and
then scan them?

Just tell me it's a special graphics program that makes it fast &
easy to create henna templates (Henna Shop 5.0!) and I'm on the way
to the store to get my own :->
