: henna used,

Jamila from Castle Art

recipe,

1 heaping teaspoon of henna, juice of one lemon, 1 teaspoon tea tree
oil and 1/2 teaspoon honey.

method etc etc etc

Mixed all ingredients covered with cling film and then aluminum and
let sit in a dark cupboard for 24 hrs. Did design freehand then
dabbed on liquid latex( gives the most crisp lines) and left paste on
for 9 hrs.

The color in the pic is after only 12 hrs...it darkened even more
overnight. I've used Jamila and tea tree oil before but the stain was
not as good....this jamila must have been very fresh. I usually have
to go over the design again to get this dark.
