don't forget everyone to send me your information if I don't allready
have it and I'll add a link next time I'm updating.

: I'm very interested in writing with henna, so I'd love to see a
: translation of what the written ones say, and in what script.
: Also, what did you use for henna? Great color.

The hand on the main page is in Sanskrit and is om mani padmi om.
There is a hand in the gallery that has a variation of a Catherine
Cartwright Jones design with Sanskrit around the wrist, the words were
'felicity' and 'happiness.' They were to celebrate a birthday!

I've tried lots of henna including Castle Art and some from Kenzi and
for a while I was using some from Ojai Body Arts Co. which produced a
nice color. For festivals I've actually been using the Mud from
Matthew. It releases quickly so the squirmy people are always sure to
get a stain but I like to leave it on 7+ hours (over night) for a nice
stain. The only down side is that by day 10 it's looking pretty skanky
and is all but gone, on the edges of the feet I usually have pumpkin
for 3+ weeks or so though it's very light, however it has always been
consistent and reliable which is really important to me.
I love to mix my own but have a problem with consistant results so the
Mud fulfills my need for festivals quite well.
I'm always trying to mix myself, believe me if I could get results
like Catherines I'd be home brewin' all the time.

Thanks for all the truly nice feedback, it's nice to hear from
professionals that I'm holding up my end and doing some things right!
thanks, jessica
