Welcome Sue!
Kree Arvanitas, who taught me most of what I know, has arthritis and
that's YET ANOTHER reason why she uses the pastry tips ( I know, I
can't help the shameless plug of my tools!) I have some tendonitis
myself and I find them very comfortable. J-bottles IMO are the worst,
even for those without joint problems. Some people like cones/carrot
bags; Personally I don't. You can only get one thickness of line,
and they are floppy and fragile. But folks here get beautiful
results.
Best advice is to play around. Try different things; just like your
henna mix, you'll come to what's best for you.
By the way just mixed up some of Kenzi's henna with both Diva Mix and
terp oils (clove, vetiver, tea tree) and it smells DIVINE...tonight is
the lucky decorating night!

check out my webpage if you want to see a photo of the tool I use...

good luck, have fun!
