  1. 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".

    After decorating kid1's hand (see 👆🏽), Kid2 decided she wanted do decorate her own hand with this henna cone. Not the most elaborate on herself but still a delight. She likes how this stains well.

    Partner's and my hands from this evening
    And mine after the final bit that I requested.
    Why yes, that is the structure of lawsone that is responsible for the stain

  23. Been a while, but adding to this thread 🧵/n
    of Kid2's #Henna #HennaArt

    This evening's handiwork on partner and then on me (just the start shown)

    She had asked us earlier in the week if she could decorate our hands and to let her know when. Excited to see how this'll turn out!

  24. Friday night Kid2 hangs out in her room with an online friend who works on art/drawing, while kid2 works on her own hand and arm with #Henna

  25. Kid2 got a bit of a henna cone with her to Orlando as she hangs out in the hotel room
    Here's a bit of this evening's work while I was out working the poster session
