I'm in exactly the same position!My mom is kind of neither way on the whole thing, sometimes I think
she'll even let me do a design on her, but then she criticizes the
ones on me. My dad on the other hand, who is a fantablous artist with
paint and pencils and all the normal artistic mediums, gives me that
same disgusted look that it seems you are getting. I just ignore it,
he and my sis *the one immediately under me, I have 2 sisters, one
loves henna* are waaay too artsie fartsie for me sometimes, being all
about perspective and such... they both kind of sneer at my artwork
as if it were nothing to speak of... frankly I'm really proud of it.
My best advice is to just let it roll off, and henna yourself all the
more. Dont' let it get to you or you start to doubt the talent you've
obviously been gifted with!
Blessings, and understanding,
Sarah
