Liisa, how wonderful that you feel responsible for your artwork. I
would be dismayed also if I knew people were using my artwork for
black henna; however, you are also supplying natural, pure henna
artists with inspiration (me, for example *smile*). Maybe you could
follow MyST's suggestion and put a ghost overlay on the drawings that
say something like "Black henna sucks". That would be funny and to
the point. Unfortunately, good and bad go hand in hand. ("There would
be no good if there was not the bad to balance it..." a Taoist saying
goes.) I think that whatever effort you make to limit the bad
(exposing your art to black henna and copyright infringement) while
maintaining the good (releasing your beautiful art into the world),
then you are doing the best you can. Please! Don't stop drawing! Your
art is too beautiful to not be done.
