I've been spending so much time lately at CCJ's Secret Henna Diaries
page that I forgot the other page was there... with much of the info
I need, including sources. I would still like to see more written as
opposed to pictorial evidence, but I'm well on my way if I can find
the originals of these books.
Thanks (duh)
Lauren

: people wearing henna from 1000 CE to 1600 CE. Shiraz is one of the
: absolute fountains of henna in that period!
:
: Start going through books of miniature paintings from Persia
through
: that period. Go through books about Middle Eastern women through
that
: period. Go through ANY picture book of the pictorial arts of the
: Islamic world through that period.

: My secret for finding the stuff is to simply pick a country where
: henna can easily grow, and start flipping through books with
pix ...
: and watch hands.
