CCJ and Terpines

I went to our local Ren Fest here in Texas this past weekend and
talked a little with the man who owns the Henna Tattoo tent. I had
hennaed my hand and my mother's hand and ankle which came out with
amazing black cherry color, when we passed by the henna tent Bevan,
the owner, stopped us and asked where we got our designs done. My
beaming mother told him I did them and he promptly offered my a job
*blush*. I explained that it would be too far a drive to really work
out and then he asked me how I got such great color. I explained (as
best I could) the chemistry of terpines and henna molecules. He
seemed very interested and wrote down some of the oils I told him had
the highest terpines.

I told him about CCJ and her testing (he'd never heard of
Catherine...the man needs to get connected more) and he said he'd
check it out. He did say he had heard about Cajeput from a friend in
Ojai(?) CA. The name sounded familar...I think they sell henna.

Anyway, it was nice to meet a fellow artist that was receptive to new
things. He seemed truly amazed at the deep color I was able to get.

Who knows, maybe when I go back to the henna tent next year I'll
smell Tea Tree or Cajeput instead of Eucalyptus.
