Nice work!
You have accidentally stumbled on my very favorite tool...except with
*really small* tips and a PLASTIC bag. Washing them thoroughly after
the henna has expired is the best way to keep 'em clean and
functioning.
Props of course to Kree for inventing them!
This tool beats any other, hands down. Cones are leaky, fragile, and
only one thickness. Plus they're floppy, and everyone I see using
them has to use two hands. Toothpicks, needles, sticks are so slow
as to be discouraging. J-bottles are a huge pain to fill, tend
to "spit" , hurt the hands, and be really hard to use when they get
low.
My tips finally arrived via UPS from Seattle yesterday so I can mix
henna...the two I brought both burst on Sunday in Brooklyn with Team
Kenzi, and I had to use their j-bottles. As a second choice I will
use j-bottles, but for the reasons outined above, I still feel
they're inferior.
Good luck, email me if you want to know the secrets...

or

: used her coloured powders to make paint!!). Tried out icing bags,
: with the metal nozzles attached to the end, and was quite please.
: Have to use gloves though, as the bag gets quite oily :) Any
