: Thats the exact experience my friend had upon a recent trip to
: India .She brought back some of the stamps though and they were
: beautiful. Looked kind of like the ones I have seen from Bali that
: are used to print fabric (Wooden hand carved ).She bought a set of
: four for one dollar! .It sounds to me like the colored "henna".

: : Well, my Indian friend went to the local Indian grocery and had
: henna stamps done on her hands. Here's how she said they worked: A
: red "henna-ink" was squeezed onto an ink pad. The stamp was then
: stamped onto the pad, and then stamped onto her skin. The designs
: were beautiful, but the color lacked the authentic "henna" look to
: it. It looked a bit like a red crayola marker. The designs faded in
: about 2 days, and now there's hardly a trace...
