How nice to hear from another country -- thank you for sending your
site. I like the way you have combined biomedics & mendhi! Also,
the fact that you are in Romania means that you have a wonderful
opportunity to research the use of henna among the Romany gypsy
people. I have a book quote showing that the gypsies in Serbia were
using henna over 200 years ago, a word for henna in one of the Romany
languages (I'm sorry, I don't know which one) is "cna."
Also you might find inspiration in creating new henna designs from
the beautiful embroidery Romania is famous for!
I wish you very good luck on your venture, and please write back if
you find any interesting information regarding Rom and henna!
ja develesa,
