HI guys,

Just a quickie. I've got a fete coming up, nothing major but I've got
some really nice new designs. The problem is they are quite big and
intricate therefore I was going to charge about Ł15 for them (if
anyone wants one is another problem). My quandry is that for the
smaller ones (for which I usually charge about Ł2) I dont bother
wrapping or anything, however if I am charging more obviously I want
to give the client the best possible stain. (They normaaly come out
really well but some, for whatever reason don't). Therefore my
question is, does anyone use wrapping or anything like new skin
(apparently the stuff over here isn't the same as that in the states)
or do you just leave it 'au natrel'. I tried using lemon sugar but it
seemed to drive the wasps crazy, which isn't such a good thing.
Hope someone can help.

Cheers

P.S. Hi Lynn, sorry I didn't say hello, only I've been stuck in the
wilds of cornwall where things like the internet are still viewed
with suspicion. Hope the season is kicking of nicely and your
hennaing up some treats.
