: Fantastic work! How did the stain come out?

The stain...well that was really bizarre. The mother-to-be had
purchased a henna kit w/ Halawa Henna in it. Part of the design was
done with that, and most of it was done with the paste I brought. By
the time I saw her 6 days later, everything that was done with the
Halawa Henna was GONE! Like it was never there. One of the designs
in an egg was done with the HH and it was a blank oval. The vining
design that goes all around, was gone also. Very bizarre. The rest
of the design got to a medium brown, and continued to darken in the
brown family for days after.
I am not sure why that happens, belly's being covered...do
they 'oxidize' slower? I know when I did mine, the design was faint,
but by 2 weeks later it was a dark brown.

:I love that idea, lets
: other members of the family share the experience.

Yes, it was really cool that everyone got to put their own blessings
on the belly.

:I am going to be
: doing a pregnant belly tomorrow, and I have yet to decide on a
: design. I warned her of the possibility of inducing due to temp
drop,
: but she is almost due anyway so she wanted to go ahead. I am about
: to mix up a batch of henna using only Kenzi's lemon/clove juice
: recipe and sugar. I will be doing her mehndi tomorrow afternoon
and
: I hope to get some pics for the website as well. Wish me luck!

Good luck and most of all....have fun!!!
Blessings,
Willowhawk
