What's New at The Henna Page: the 2010 Calendar!!!
Posted on: 11/04/2009 09:45 PM
Every year, the Henna Page brings you a FREE Calendar, day runner, and appointment book, featuring the patterns from the Henna Page and TapDancing Lizard. We want to inspire you to try new techniques and idea to make 2010 your best henna year ever!
Download the files, save them, print them out for yourself and your friends!!
We worked harder than ever this time with Luna Hart, Nikki Rettman (henna artists at Empire) Deb Brommer, Todd Horvath, Alex Morgan and myself doing the artwork, Alex Morgan doing all the graphic crunching, and Roy Jones doing photography.
We have new ideas for you: henna on a plaster cast, henna on eggshells, henna on drums, henna patterns on a cake (chocolate, not henna), and of course, henna, Ancient Blue, harquus, gilding and Scheherazade on skin!

The artwork and photography for the calendar usually stretches across three or four months each year. Each year, about halfway through the project, we start asking ourselves why we're putting ourselves through this demanding and expensive chore again. Then, in the fall, we get the rough draft from Alex with her post-production work on the photos and the calendar info from Justine all laid out and nearly ready to go and we remember why we started doing this...and the response to the calendar online (we logged nearly 25000 downloads for the 2009 edition) is more than thanks enough.

If you haven't tried it before, I strongly recommend trying henna and Scheherazade and gems on egg shells and on plaster body casts. They stay still, their cell phones never ring, and they don't even fuss about waiting days for you to finish!
If you do plaster bandage casts, go over it about 3 times with gesso before you henna.
I love building up textured areas with henna, then going over that with Scheherazade, layer after layer, to make a luminous, complex surface. You just can't do that with skin ...
