: Yay! I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!: The video i also can't wait to see!
:
: Now i need to get working on my own book so we can have that all
done
: too. I think i'll go start it now! Wish me luck with page 1:
Turkoman!

:
: : The printer says: "Henna, the Joyous Body Art:, Pattern Book #1"
is
: : ready. I just have to drive down to W.Va. to pick it up, and I
: plan
: : to do that Friday. I'll start filling orders next Monday.
: :
: : There were adjustments in the cost of paper, etc, and hours
: required
: : to print the book, so the physical book costs a little more than
I
: : thought .. but such is life (and business). I wanted to get a
book
: : into your hands that would survive being a WORKING ARTIST'S book
on
: : your table every weekend! I think the extra $ will be worth it!
: : The physical book and the pattern books which follow, will retail
: at
: : $20. It's available as a e-book for $10. Sometime around
August,
: : there'll be another printing, and then it will be available
through
: : bookstores. Right now, it will be available from myself, as the
: : "Special Artist's Edition", signed and numbered with something
nice
: : extra..... and through anyone else who decides they'd like to
buy
: it
: : from me to resell. (Should be a good seller!)
: :
: : They say the video, "Henna, the Joyous Body Art, the Traditions
of
: : Mothers and Daughters" is ready too. I expect a copy of that in
my
: : mailbox soon, so I'll have a look at it and see if St. Ed Wood
was
: : smiling upon me...... I know the history, traditions and
: information
: : in the video is excellent. It's not a broadcast quality
video ...
: but
: : content will, I hope, outshine any production problems.
: :
: : If you want a free pattern page to see if you like the way its
laid
: : out ..... email me and tell me what's on the list at
: : http://reverndbunny.sphosting.com/patbook1.html that you'd like
to
: : see.
: :
: : If you have a henna website, and would be willing to put an ad
for
: my
: : publishing company on your site with a link .... I'll send you
the
: : e-book free.
: :
: : Looks as though there will be many henna pattern, tradition and
: : history books coming out of TapDancing Lizard in the future!
I've
: : done the paperwork to make it a proper publishing company, with
: ISBN
: : #'s, registrations, and over the next 3 months will complete
: : everything to make it possible for bookstores, libraries and all
to
: : access these books. There's never been a publishing company
: devoted
: : entirely to henna.... and I'm very pleased with the enthusiasm
thus
: : far. I think there will be 3 books published each year .... and
: the
: : first volume of the "Encyclopedia of Henna, the History of Henna
: from
: : 7000 BCE to 600 CE" should be ready to go to press at the first
of
: : next year.
: :
: : Its going to be interesting!

updated on your progress Bright Blessings, Christine
