I haven't been keeping measurements (ok, time to string me up by my
ankles and beat me til i swear to measure every time!).
And i definately haven't been making 3oz of paste. I'm short on henna
powder, so i need to conserve. (Hurry up Kenzi! ;-)
I have been using about equall ammounts of caj and tt, usually about
20 drops each, in about 1oz paste i think.
Sorry i can't give a more specific answer!

think
: : it would be quite as good as when they're paired.

: ie:
: 1/3 oz of tt + 1/3 oz caj in 3 oz paste ....
: compared to 2/3 oz of tt in 3 oz paste or 2/3 oz caj in 3 oz paste
: compared to
: 1/3 tt in 3 oz paste?

: I saw a few mixes at Sirius that seemed to have a cumulative
effect:
: additions of cypress and cardamon seemed to push tt and caj darker.
