Gloppy Face Mask

Hello everyone!
I experimented today with the face mask we talked about a few days
ago. On my left hand I set up 6 experimental simple flowers. I ranged
from just henna to henna, sugar/lemon juice to the works. I then
wrapped the fingers and left to bake for 2 hours. Initial results are
interesting. The sharpest lines came through with just henna, period.
The darkest color I will reserve judgement for tomorrow, but the
orangiest colored test was the finger with the new skin tied with the
finger that has the mask stuff. The face mask gel is difficult to
work with; its really really heavy and tends to take forever to dry
compaired with New Skin. However, its really easy to remove! Lastly
upon inspiration I looked at the contents of the mask gel. Low and
behold.....the first listed content was water! So, in a seperate
container I mixed some gel with water to thin it out and make it
easier to apply. (Initially I used a small tipped henna bottle to
apply the gel) I mixed about 50/50 mix and hennaed a little flower
boquet on the ball of my left hand. I then waited for the henna to
dry, and when it was mostly dry, I applied the new water/gel mix with
a cotton ball just as you would if you were applying the lemon/sugar
mix. WOW I THINK I FOUND THE PERFECT SOLUTION TO COVER YOUR DESIGNS
WITH!! I will experiment more in the next few days, but things look
great!!!
Wishing everyone lots of happy hennaing!!
(P.S. Catherine, next time you send anyone patterns, add my name to
the list! Your stuff is inspirational!)
