We've moved!

2012-08-31T11:09:00.002-04:00

SO! It seems that because google like things a certain way, that its much more useful to have my blog on my own domain. I've moved it to the link above and all new updates will be there. Also, I'll be posting AT LEAST weekly. Thanks for your patience!

Wow, have I been falling behind on blog posts! Lots to share. Here are some shots from the Big Raindrop Body Arts Conference in Seattle

A new baby belly!

2011-08-30T14:55:00.003-04:00

This is Rachel, or her baby bump anyway. She liked the idea of a fish trapped in a bowl. She mentioned koi, and showed me some paisleys she liked, and I went from there. This particular koi has the part human look of Panyo. Not really my intent... but I think it works.

One of the limitations of being your own henna artist is that you can't reach everywhere on your own skin! My friend Deborah Brommer in Columbus gave me this hot henna.

I helped Deborah Brommer of Desdemona's Designs at her booth at the Ohio State Fair. Here's a couple of the more interesting things I did there.

The END of the Library Season!

2011-07-21T07:59:00.003-04:00

Visiting young adult groups at libraries is one of my favorite parts of my job, and its actually what drew me to henna in the first place, way back 10 years ago when I was responsible for children's programming at my home town library. No matter how much I love these visits, they sure can wear me out! After 32 of them this summer, I'm ready for a little break.

Here are a few of the more interesting things I did at libraries this summer.

I had a great visit with Hanna while doing this little doodle for her, copied from her phone skin!

My entry for a design contest...

2011-07-13T10:51:00.006-04:00

This is the very simple design I did for a contents in a henna artist's group. Here's the contest:

Here's my design:

Birthday Mehndi

This young lady had me come out a few days before her big sweet 16 bash so her mehndi would look perfect for the occasion.

She really wanted some sparkly mehndi. That silver will stay with her for several days, but not quite as long as the traditional mehndi.

Nayan's Wedding Mehndi

Nayan was such a smart, sweet, soft spoken woman, and her mom fed me a lovely dinner!

All nighter

2011-05-27T08:31:00.002-04:00

Tonight marks my first all nighter of the season. Danya and I will be working at the Greater Toledo YMCA East with the kids from Clay High School. Until 4 am. A moment of truth, really. Can I still do an all nighter after crossing the ugly threshold of my 35th birthday!? Pictures to come!

And Speaking of WendyMehndi!

Christine was kind enough to let me both paint AND henna her belly in one day! Here's what we did.

Changes on my web site!

2011-05-14T13:58:00.002-04:00

This is the farmer's market at the end of my street. If you're in fort Wayne on a Sunday afternoon stop by the tecumseh branch library and check out the east state village market!

Face Paint!

2010-07-30T09:30:00.001-04:00

I've just added face painting to my list of services... Check out some pics!

Ooops!

2010-05-06T09:11:00.002-04:00

I also just noticed that a lot of my photos are missing. This is because I was hosting them on my web site, and I have rearranged things since then. I'll be working on fixing those links, starting with the most recent posts. Thanks for your patience.

If you hadn't noticed...

I've neglected this blog for a while. When I decided to wrap up my henna and body art supply online shop I quit blogging about my business. I am still doing henna body art on a professional basis, and I also work for the HennaPage as a forum moderator and as a customer service representative. I just don't sell my own supplies any more. I'm going to start posting to this blog again about my work and play with henna!
