Hi Nick,

Yeah, now it is no secret! ;-) So you are not wrapping? My lines
must be expanding when wrapped. The sweating thing seems to make the
lines spread. Also, those natural lines in the palm of the hand also
presents a problem for me in my own hand but not always in other
peoples hands. The creases created by the natural lines in my hands
are quite deep and it seems that whenever I place henna anywhere near
the creases it sometimes results in one long hennaed line when
unwrapped..no matter what the design was supposed to be. But that
has also been when wrapped. I just hennaed my hand again yesterday
and the same thing occurred. When this latest design disappears on
my palm I am going to try it without the wrapping and sweating
thing. Ofcourse I did this design with that bionic Gambian henna
that likes to linger for a while.

One more thing, do you know the magic behind the "shaded" henna
patterns. I have been playing with them by using henna that results
in different shade stains. I am still having a problem getting a
really deep contrasting stain on top of a lighter stain. Should I be
overlapping the henna as I am doing or should I do designs with the
lighter henna and leave openings in which I apply the deeper staining
henna later? Any ideas on this? Thanks for your help.

Take care! So you got your hand done. I'm really jealous.
