Everyone can usually draw something....and practice, practice,practice. I got started in henna by buying a kit at Barnes and
Noble - now I go out and do festivals and have a blast!
There are lots of ways to break down most patterns into smaller
portions - try drawing S curves, dots, straight lines, and then start
putting them all together.
It's also helpful to sometimes use a gel pen first...layout your
basic design with the pen first and then go over it with the henna.
I recommend gel pens because the lines remove from skin very easily.

lets "them" see it!
