Hi Alissa,

I like your process for shading. I will not even describe what I
have been doing to get shaded areas. It works but takes three days
to do. Can you imagine a customer waiting around for that design?
If you don't mind I think I will try your approach. I think Sophie
was trying the "watercolor" approach and I have been doing the "older
weaker yet terped-up henna stain" approach to get the shading.
Someone else was working with timing to obtain shades. I like the
shading process because it allows for a more "painterly" design
quality that allows for some soft and some hard edges. I like the
flexability. Hope we get to see your results. I am still working on
all of the pieces of my website and will be glad when I can get pics
up for viewing as well.

Gee...(can't believe I thought "Gee")...I wonder what the difficulty
would be to set up a site for people who don't have their own site to
put up their pics. I might be deceiving myself, but this shouldn't
be such a hard task...should it? I have to put the henna piece to my
site together with my ceramic and painting art work that I sell along
with a store front. And making all of this work together is twisting
my mind into a pretzel. So I know it will be a bit before I get the
site that I want up. But I do wonder about the possibility of a page
for exhibiting our experiments, successes and questionable results
for feedback. Maybe someone knows how to make this happen. I
don't. I just have the visions.
