Hey, I did not mean to piss you off or make you defensive.
:
: Yeah, I can do this shit. I've also got a Bachelor's degree in
Fine
: Art and have taught art to underpriviledged children in my area for
: the past two years. I'm an artist, and have been all my life.
:
: What I was trying to say in my other post was this: dont let lack
of
: skill stop you from trying! I don't want someone addicted to
: transfers for the rest of their mehndi days and think that they
might
: suck too bad to be able to henna freehand, when all they needed to
do
: was try.
:
: I didn't want to make someone feel bad for using transfers, but I
did
: want to encourage that person to try something more challenging,
and
: for me, artistically fulfilling.
:
: I think what bugs me about transfers is that a lot of amusement
park
: artists are using them, and they are also being sold in every henna
: kit across the country.
:
: So when I get a potential customer, many times it is someone who
: says, "Oh I had one of those kits. It didnt work out very well."
: or "I had that done at the fair." In other words, these people
tell
: me that they've had their share of the henna experience, and
wouldn't
: care to repeat it.
:
: This sort of thing gives henna artists everywhere a bad rep.
:
: Yeah, I got my start too with one of those henna kits. With any
: medium, it takes a lot of patience, practice, and in the end skill,
: to be able to use it to the best of your ability.
:
: Using transfers isn't pushing the envelope far enough.
