first henna gig!

I'm about to have my first henna-only gig on Friday night and I'm so excited! I ordered some Henna cones from Heather, and I'm gonna do a design on myself tonight so that it'll look nice for Friday! I'll post pics afterward.. wish me luck!

good luck!

Congrats! I got my first inquiry, but had to be honest with the woman that I didn't think she really wanted me to put henna on a bunch of 8 year old girls in her house. I explained that it they touched it before it dried 20 minutes later it would be ruined and that the flakes would stain clothes and carpet permanently. I never heard back from her, even though I did suggest face painting and glitter tattoos would wow them just as much.

Better safe than sorry I suppose.

Wow! good luck! Can't wait to see!

please post pics if you are able and have fun!

I just booked my first all day Henna/Glitter Tattoo in April at a wholistic/pyschic fair Me and Alicia are going to tag team them should be a blast.

thanks for all the good luck wishes, but my gig was canceled maybe someday I'll have a good gig!

oooh nooo!

boooo

I have my first big henna gig coming up. I just got back form the NE henna confernence - I met Kim Brennan and did one of her sugar skulls. I sat next to Metina in Nov at fabbulous and she was my very first Henna ever. I just had to share this picture. Maggie was so wonderful and trusted me to do a skull on her leg.

Daaaaaaaaaaang Margie. I guess you did get hooked on the henna. I loved it, but came back hooked on the balloons. Funny how things worked out. That skull is "naughty word" amazing!

Here's the stain -thanks Metina!

The henna+glitter looks awesome, the design is wicked cool, and I think I really need to learn henna! Great stain Magic!

P.S. I LOVE, LOVE, her hair!

OMG she was great -I did the skull for her because she came up to me and said her grandmother used to make them for her in Mexico we had a great time together. That is actual from Kim Brennan's book of Sugar Skulls. When Kim saw it she said if I send it to her she would post the picture on her webpage as a guest artist and link me to her webpage. She is totally one of the masters of the art so I am quite honored. I was very intimidated being in a room of such awesome henna artists being such a newbee so it was either jump in or walk away the way I walked in.

I did this the first night in the hotel
