I am sick in my heart and soul about what has happened in NY and
about the future. My fear is that this was only the beginning. I
feel that calling it a war and forcing people to takes sides can only
exacerbate a sticky situation... I won't go on and on about my
personal views, but I think tolerance is called for here, and respect
for other people's race, religion, sex, or hairdo even! One of the
reasons NYC is such a great place is that it is so international, and
tolerant of others.
I have been listless, and unfocused, although maybe it is also due to
the end of summer/henna season, etc.
But I did try out the transfer method suggested by CCJ (with
watercolor pencils) and found out that it worked great. Then I
noticed that if I used a computer printout instead of a photocopy I
got a perfect transfer WITHOUT the pencil. The ink from the computer
transfers perfectly onto wet skin! Did you guys know this? I
didn't. And the question is... Is it safe? The transfer wiped off
easily. I didn't try hennaing on top of it because all my henna was
in the freezer, and I was feeling too unmotivated to experiment, but
I can't see how it would be a problem. So I'm putting it out to the
forum. Any ideas or suggestions??
