The heat did wonderful things for henna...and anytime I get to henna
under different conditions and learn new stuff I'm a happy lady. Some
of the best henna color I ever got was from the swealtering night I
hennaed half my hand, closed my eyes for a minute and woke up the next
morning....no wrap, no nothing...just 100F in a loft with high
humidity so the henna stayed on my skin slightly damp with
perspiration all night. Fortunately, I was so trashed I didn't even
move during my sleep, so the henna stayed perfect. Unfortunately, I
had only half my hand done!
Where was I? Brushwood. Hennaeing and teaching henna history,
tradition and technique classes......
I hennaed and seamstressed at the Church of the Subgenius X-Day, (and
since I made the papal garb for Stang, (with irridescent and
holographic patterning, white maribou and flashing lights on the
jacket) I get to be formally referred to as Reverand Bunny.
I hennaed through Craftwise, and did more oak leaves and triple
thingie stuff for Druids than I ever thought possible.
Many Forum regulars and lurkers were at Sirius Rising, and we had
endless joy hennaeing and getting to know each other there....
I hennaed from 3 to midnight every night during Starwood...was rather
thankful that by Sunday I had run out of supplies so I could just
relax.
Then, I spent a week in the Shanon position.
