: Hello, I hope all are well. A few more questions that prolly are
: rather simple for ya all. First, exactly how much henna will I have
: (in paste form) if I buy 100 grams of henna powder, and is $9.00 US
a
: reasonable price for that amount?

Yes, that's a reasonable price thought you may find some cheaper if
you search the web (I buy from Castle Arts and Import)
www.castlearts.com)
1 heaping teaspoon of henna powder mixed into a paste makes about 1/2
oz. - it fills one of those little jaquard bottles.
100 grams goes a pretty long way

Secondly, what do you guys all call
: the art of henna, I work at the local Wal-Mart here in my little
cow town home and lots of people ask me about the designs on my
hands, it
: feels wrong to call it "henna tatoos" what do you all call it?

It's called Mehndi (various spellings include Mehandi, Mehendi)

Also I
: was thinking of just printing up a little card or something with
info
: about henna on it, to hand to people who are truely curious and so
I
: dont' have to explain myself every five minutes, when WalMart gets
: busy hearing the same question over and over brings on a case of
what
: CCJ calls the "Gryphs". One final question, do any of you have some
: pics on the web or something of designs for men? I have found a few
: boat-loads of designs for women, but not too many for men. My bf
and
: a guy friend of mine who I grew up with are both begging me to
henna
: them but I come up dry when considering a design for either of
them.
: Any help would be IMMENSELY appreciated!!

You can do a search for "flash" - lots of tattoo sights out there
with tattoo flash you can buy...some of it is even free.

Hope this helps :)
