That's a great idea, to make a table of contents. Thanks!

I have my designs organized by area of the world (like my CD
collection) so a table of contents would work great.

I have my designs in a 3-ring binder (love how it lays flat) with see-
through covers so the first page shows through.

I try to have a lot of photos in my book (usually a full page photo
to show the most detail and to keep the page looking clean) and I try
to have photos taken with the paste off, where possible. The photos
are followed by the drawings. I like having a lot of photos in there
because I think it helps people conceptualize how a design will work
on skin, or on a particular body part.

My assistant wants me to empty my book of all designs that aren't on
hands or feet. She has a very purist attitude about henna, that it
should only be done on the areas where it takes best, namely hands
and feet. While I don't entirely agree with her, I feel for her
because she is my front line and the person who has to say the same
thing over and over and over again, about how henna takes best on the
hands and feet where the skin is thicker and that it won't come out
very dark on the arms, legs, backs, bellies etc. I am hoping that
liquid latex will help solve this problem.
