A lot of things are scary the first time. I remember my first mass
henna event...looking back on it I was totally unprepared and yet I
managed to do one of CCJ's asian dragons (sweating bullets the whole
time). You can practice and practice, but there is nothing like a
real event to find out what you are made of. I am sure you will rise
to the occasion, if only because you have to.

One more thing, I think you will be surprised at how pleased people
are with your work. I don't feel like the best artist in the world
and feel I can copy designs pretty well, if painstakingly, and yet
when I am finished hennaing, I often find that the client is really
pleased. I think that they think you are going to do a transfer or
something and are amazed that you can do any design freehand. It
seems as if human nature has been programmed to think it can't draw
and that only talented people can draw, and thus they look on those
who can draw with awe.

You will do a great job. Let us know how it goes!
