Thank you!! That means alot coming from you! I used the bag last
night and it worked very well! I did discover a few shortcomings, but
I still like this method best so far. I had a leaky seam at the end
of the night from too much pressure during a clog, though that wasnt
too bad. I liked being able to tighten the bag as I used it, tho I
need to work on my method a little, but thats ok by me! I also added
honey to my basic recipe (henna powder, Kenzi's lemon/clove mix, clove
bud ess. oil, eucalyptus ess oil.) It took quite a bit longer to dry
than I expected but it stuck to the skin quite well! I think I added
too much honey (the top pooped off when I was trying to squeeze the
bottle and it glooped out) but I am going to try adding more powder
and juice & see if that helps. One of the unfortunate parts of the
excess honey is that it took way longer to dry than I expected and I
ended up ruining the design. I was peeved with myself because it had
really come out beautiful and I thought I finally had a piece of work
worthy of showing you guys. Oh well back to the drawing cone!
