stamping henna and distilled henna

Subject:

Comments:
: I've been futzing around (in the copius spare time) with a fabric : stamp pad saturated with really runny henna. Regular henna paste is : too thick. Rubber stamps don't pick up the "ink" evenly enough. But : fabric sponge stamps do. : The stamped pattern is probably not thick enough for skin decoration. : But it works just fine on fabric, although when ironed it doesn't come : out as dark as the stain from a good henna paste. : Oh, and I was finally able to do the distillation thing with my X-mas : present...it was a bit disappointing. I was hoping for an oil, but : what I got was lightly scented henna alcohol. Since alcohol does : weird things to the texture of the paste, it's not the holy grail : additive I was hoping for. But it is an attractive light green color : and once the alcohol smell evaporates it smells like fresh henna.
