Results of terped experiments and some questions for everyone :).

Posted by Jewel on August 14, 2001 at 09:04:02:

There have been so many beautiful work posted here recently and I am
in awe with all of them (I'm not worthy!) :). Such gorgeous colours
and patterns! Thank you for sharing, I am so inspired with every
single one of them. I have to say that I am curious with the
different results attained by different people/henna/EOs/weather
conditions etc. I am making a little study on the various experiment
results by others (especially with terped paste). I was hoping those
who have tried using EOs would help me with the questions.

1) what henna did you use?
2) what EOs did you use?
3) how long did you let the paste sit (before adding EOs)?
4) how long (after adding EOs) before you start application?
5) how long did you leave paste on skin?
6) how long did it take to darken (deep dark red/brown, almost black)
after you scrape henna off?
7) how well does the top of your hand stain normally (un-terped
paste)?
8) what elixir did you use with the henna?
9) how long does your terped paste last (before it starts to lose
it's staining power)?
10) do you refridgerate your paste?

I received Kenzi's henna last night and mixed up a paste with the
following results (pic). Answering my own questions to achieve this.
1) Kenzi's Moroccan
2) Ravensara+tea tree+pine
3) 2 hours
4) 45 minutes
5) 5 hours (overnight)
6) that pic was taken after 5 hours, now (10 hours later) it's deep
dark red (the checkerboard is almost black)
7) my palm normally stains easily, the top of my hand doesn't
8) fresh lime juice
9) 3 - 4 days
10) nope

Hope everyone can respond to this, thanks a bunch!!

Love & peace,
