: That is why I like pastry tips. The are very wide except
: for the hole. Kree also uses a pastry
: tip that gives 3 lines at once. Kind of tricky for curves, but good
: for parallel straight lines.

My craft tip was neat - my hand was shaking, and all the little wavers
ended up in the henna lines. In parallel!

Where do you get the small pastry tips? (The only place I remember
seeing pastry stuff is the local craft store, and I've hunted there.)

I finally got the baby-medicine syringe - it works BEAUTIFULLY!!!
(Thanks to whomever suggested it!) Only the tiniest bit of waste,
and enough control to suck up most of my bowl of henna. And the
thing has a little tip cover, so I can leave it part full for a while.
It looks like I can fill it from the back end, too, if I wanted.

I don't think the nose thing will work well - you'd either have to
fill the bulb or hold it so the henna was at the bottom, and I think
you'd blow a hole through the henna before the bulb emptied.
