Mix room-temperature lemon juice and sugar until the sugar won't mix
in anymore. Wait until your henna is not shiny anymore. It should
also be just barely dry to the touch. Dab it on with a cotton ball.
You don't need a whole lot at a time. If you have drips, that's too
much. Dab over the whole design, let dry, dab again. Press a square
of toilet paper onto the design while the LS is still wet. It should
stick to it pretty well. Wrap it some more in toilet paper, then
tightly in plastic wrap, then put it in a sock.
You canalso tie a plastic grocery bag around it with good effect.,
and skip the plastic wrap.

the

Indian

: Maybe I'll ask her where to get the powder! See? I'm on a roll!
