Hallo from beautiful Goettingen in Germany. I've been visiting here
for a couple weeks, and have finally been able to log in for a few
minutes.

I had the most lovely experience Wednesday. I met a henna artist in
the Tourist Info shop last week and we rendez-vous-ed (just verbed a
noun there) at a cafe early Wednesday evening. He had been using a
premix and was curious about my recipe -- and so we talked about the
recent recipe discoveries on the forum (in a mix of broken English and
German).

Then we traded designs. I had found some cajeput oil in a Naturalisch
Kosmetik shop and had made up a killer mix -- wow! The combo of
cajeput oil and unusually hot weather made a very fast-staining mix
(it even stained the children of some friends in less than 1
hour!). I did a Moroccan inspired design on my new friend -- and he
did an Indian-inspired flower on me.

I'll be able to post photos once I get home next week.

I also found a book in German on henna at a fleamarket. That was a
fun find! German is close enough to English that I can understand the
gist of the text and the pictures are universal. BTW, it was
published in '98 and lists the Forum as an internet resource (the old
Oxford address, though)

It's just brilliant how henna opens doors. I;ve met tons of great
people because of henna and the info learned on this forum.
