I use a "noblot ink pencil" made by Eberhard Faber. It looks very
much like an ordinary pencil. You trace the lines you want to
transfer, then dampen your skin, and press the traced paper against
it. What transfers is a blue-green line, so you can see it pretty
clearly. Eberhard Faber makes art pencils, so I think you could
probably get this in an art supply store. (I got mine over the
Internet, it came in the first henna kit I ordered; the kit was a dud,
but the pencil is great).
: I have line drawings on paper and want to transfer the guidelines to
: skin, so I can henna over them. Is there a good way to do this?
: (I've tried pen & alcohol to transfer, but it blurs. It's not worth
: cutting rubber stamps for a single design, and I haven't been happy
: with stencils for guidelines.) Please tell me what kind of paper
(or
: transparency film or whatever) you use, as well as the medium, if
you
: already do this. Thanks!
