In reply to: I prefer freehand designs posted by Darlahood on July 22, 2001 at 18:33:43:

for some of us, it takes more time. the method i use is also used in
some begining art classes. for me, in the beginging, i was soooooo
shaky and bad, no hand-eye condination, this helped me get my
artistic eye trained. i, now, do almost everything freehand, but i
was so grateful to the person who taught me this. it got me started
and i continued because i got the results i wanted. then as my
confidence grew i was able to start trying things freehand. just got
braver and braver. now i am blessed to be able to make this one of
the ways that i support myself. some of us have to start that way. it
must be a blessing to just be able to do something right off the
bat...you are lucky. but remember, not all of us are blessed in the
same way. so try not to make anyone feel wrong for using a little
help in the begining. Thank you, jennifer

: I think you can draw the designs yourself using a cone or jaquard
: fabric painting bottle with a little effort and practice. You can
: use some old henna paste on a paper towel to practice on. I've
also
: heard of folks practicing on fruit to get the feel of working 3-D.

: Working freehand also enables you to express your creativity more
: productively, which for me is what this artform is all about!
