#EncountersAndObservations
A girl near the edge of the sea: baggy colorful pants, lots of bracelets, huge headphones. She doesn't care about anything: neither the heatwave nor swimmers, not even the sea. She's engrossed in her process. In her right hand is a gold paper tube. A dark liquid comes from the tip. She's tracing it onto her skin in curves, swirls, dots -- extraterrestrial flowers. Now the heatwave, swimmers and even the sea disappear for me too as I'm watching.

Kid2 henna-ed a new 'friend' who got #henna for the first time. Said friend, who works in a nail salon, did kid2's nails last week. First time Kid2 got her nails done - excitedly so, as she doesn't have to play piano for 2 weeks. She got a cat eye design (and the process was "just like the videos on Instagram"!!)

CW: body art
It took at least four tries but I've finally achieved pretty much the effect I was shooting for.
As usual, it'll get darker in the next 24 hours or so.
This is a product of henna staying on skin for ten hours or so.
Terping (that is, adding tea tree essential oil) does darken the hue. As does wrapping the arm in plastic foil, I think.
I'm definitely doing more designs elsewhere! And I still want to do henna freckles on my face, but I'm still a bit chicken xD plus the next batch of henna is still "ripening".

Most people living in Ouadane depend primarily on agriculture and livestock-raising, but gathering also has its place. This woman collects leaves of henna, used to treat headaches and to bathe newborns. The leaf powder (dried, ground and sieved) is used to prepare the henna paste used for traditional tattoos.
