Henna 1st try

Because of my previous post, "The art of Henna", I've decided to do a demonstration. I get Henna from an Indian restaurant called the Taj Mahal in Cedar Rapids. If you go into the restaurant and walk up to the counter in the back you can ask for cone Henna, I think it costs six dollars. When you first use the cone you have to cut the tip off of the wrapper, so first think how small/thin you want your design lines to be. Always cut a very small part of the tip off, because you can always make your lines larger by cutting more off.
Usually I just draw patterns of circles, dots, and lines, but there are many more intricate tutorials.
My Henna design didn't turn out very well, (probably because it has been open for two or three years), so I will continue practicing and blog about it throughout the year!
