: Run that by me again, and tell me exactly what you did.

: I didn't quite understand what you were saying about how you made
your
: paste, and what you did after the application. What sort of color
: were you getting? Where on your skin did you do this? Was there
any
: irritation?

No irritation at all. Here is how it goes:
I first put the ammonia spirit to mix with the powder, after a little
bit it becomes a bit chunky after sitting, so then I mix my mordant (
a little hot) to make it nice and creamy. It had a nice consistany as
if I used honey.I put a small design on the tender underneith part of
my arm, waited for it to dry, dabbed twice with lemmon sugar. When I
dabbed with the solution, I felt a little tingle as if to say, I AM
Working. I only left it on for 1/2 hr. (MIss Impaitient) to see how it
would take, and holy mother of pearl, super bright cherry orange,
which later turned a nice dark burgandy brown. I cant imagine what it
would be like if I left it on overnight, I am going to do this
tonight. I just did this little experiment, so I dont know how it
would be on other body parts, but I did use the sensitive part of my
skin with no affects so far. I also checked it out after only being on
five minutes and the stain was incredible. Did I miss anything?
