I use sushi skewers for redefining muddy lines and removing mistakes -- they are shorter than kabob sticks and longer than toothpicks (so I
can stick them in my hair when I'm not using them and don't get lost,
like toothpicks!) Also, I am a fervent believer in pastry tips. One
of these days I'll post pix & a how-to on my site. With pastry tips
we get a variety of shapes, one size is excellent for calligraphy, we
can do double and triple lines as quickly as it takes other artists
to do one line and the lines are symmetrical. I have carried my
pastry tips with me to other countries and given them away to henna
artists accustomed to cones & syringes and gotten rave reviews. They
almost never clog if the henna is sifted properly, and do not give
you hand cramps the way jacquard bottles do. They are much better
than carrot bags, since they have a variety of line sizes and are
completely reusable.
I'll be bringing a set to Sirius for people to check out!
