I had a wonderful time at Midnight Sun today, and met many wonderful people. I wish I could have taken photos of all the henna, but I was busy.. and we are all happy.
I did maange to take this photo of sisters, who were twins and chose similar, almost identical tattoos. Ok. They chose the same basic design, but henna has a way of negotiating with a human canvas. Here are the results.
I will not be working on Saturday, September first, but will be back on the 8th. See you soon.

I must thank Cindy for the "loan" of her hand. She made it possible for me to practice a new design, as fast as I could.
The tip of the cone was cut very small, which made it easy to do her fingers, and all the fine lines on the back of her hand. To get the heavier lines I had to double some of the fine lines, which took a bit longer than I wanted it to.
I started at the fingertips and worked backward from there. I wanted to be sure that the ribbon that "draped" the back of the hand was in the proper place & the easiest was was backwards.
Of course I now have my super portable, very comfortable, ne,w drum chairs which make the henna process so much easier.
I got them at Midnight Sun of course! They are little round bamboo stools that look like djembes colorful, water-proof and very steady to sit on.
Cindy's hand is resting on the top of the stool (they make great photo backdrops as well.)
