Just to get your ra-ra's going or get a critique if you like! I'll start it off with mine from tonight. I'm warming up my hand for a gig, so it's not at "perfect" as I'd like and seeing how my old henna works for practice pieces. If it stains well, I'll put up photos of it once it's "developed".

It has it's flaws, but I'm proud of it. My first attempt at a design was a disaster...I made the mix too wet and the lines mushed in to eachother, so I gave up before I started. This time the mix was just a bit dryer than I'd have liked but atleast I finished the design. I copied some of the design from a website, but chose to put an eye in the middle rather than arabic text, made the dots alot bigger, expanded the design to my wrist, and changed the ...

I'm running the henna through pantyhose. I'm using the bottles & I do have the smallest tips. I thought maybe I needed a bigger tip, but I like the lines better from the smaller tip(more delicate). Any advice? I have a big event on the 3rd & my daughter's doing the henna. I don't want her all frustrated & loosing time/money from continual clogs.

I've read it can be frozen. Is this true? Can it be put in the 'fridge & if so, for how long? Can it be defrosted & then refrozen?
