Does the Ky block the henna any?
: : How do you make your own transfers? And can you draw the design
: : first with say a washable marker and do the henna over it?

: We have tried everything from "watercolor" pencils to graphite.
Some
: don't work at all, and some do work, but not consistently when used
: for transfers.
: The best product we have found is a product used by permanent
tattoo
: artists. It's called a hectograph pencil. It looks like a regular
: pencil, but transfers a light purple design to the skin. It works
far
: more consistently than any other product we have tried....(even on
: hairy arms or legs)
:
: Here's what you do:
: Trace your design using the hectograph pencil.
: Apply a light coat of KY Jelly or similar product to the area of
skin
: you want to transfer the design to.
: Press the design against the moistened skin, then peel away.
: A purple copy (but in reverse)of your design will be left behind.
: Alcohol will also work, but too much will cause the design
to "bleed".
:
: You can also dip them in alcohol, tap off excess, and use them to
: draw directly onto the skin.

: You can find them at Spaulding and Rodgers, or at our website,
