new addiction

So my friend was in last night looking at tattoos (online) as her and another friend are going to get one today, so in our search she decided that she liked the tribal tats the best and they reminded me of the Ukrainian eggs that I make, which in turn reminded me of Mehndi! For those of you who don't know what Mehndi is, it is a very old craft where woman use henna to temporarily stain their hands with different lines, flowers, dots, curves etc. So last night after looking at these we drove an hour into town to see if we could find henna and found it at our first stop! Well she is much braver than I am and more confident in my artistic abilities than I am so she bought the Henna and I bought body paint which doesn't take as much of a commitment! (just incase I messed up) So while sitting at the market I painted 3 different designs on my hand and I can't wait to make another which is another benefit of using the body paint to start with. I think I may practice a bit more, buy some more colors and start doing face painting for the kids at the market.

Just what I needed another addiction! Great!
