Wife has an Open House at her Art/Pottery School today.
I have offered (as usual) to do henna tattoos there all day for free.
Apparently the ones I did last time made quite a buzz among her female students and there's a lineup of ladies waiting today :D
Will take photos and post tonight or tomorrow.
Also, I have a wicked toothache.
Gonna eat a bunch of Nuckster's brownies to see if they help with both (tattoos and pain)
Later!
Doing HENNA tats all day today
Here are some someone took from the last session... This time I'm taking my own camera so I'll have more

You should do them on acid. :)
People say they all want the truth, but when they are confronted with a truth that disagrees with them, they balk at it as if it were an unwanted zombie apocalypse come to destroy civilization.
^ ha!
I would if I did :) but I don't so I won't
It was a GREAT day, lots of people showed up.
They arranged a small 'creative crawl' with a bunch of the other 'creative'-type businesses in the neighborhood; a yoga place, a vegan restaurant, a goldsmith/jewellery place, and a brand new expensive chocolate shop. All these businesses had a 'passport' with all the locations, and the idea was for people to get a 'stamp' from each location that would enter them in a draw to win some stuff
It worked like a charm. We've done open houses before with low-medium success in people coming. This one was much much bigger, and from what I saw everyone was coming with these passport stamp things.
They are making many more connections and flows of energy in the community, teaming up with different people; that town mural project is also continuing to move, which is exciting cuz I love wall murals
HOWEVER, I didn't get to do much henna. Various interferences and distractions (dentist, namely; I am to have a tooth pulled :D ), chatting too much with interesting people (met an old animator) etc
Also... EVERYONE WANTED THE SAME THING! lol
I did one tat on the side of someone's hand, and EVERYONE just sat down and said, "I want something like she has." lol
So fuckit I did side-hand designs all day.
The 'Black' henna I bought in Morocco turned out to be a nice deep red color, which is nice but I'm still out of black. Black henna opens more doors to doing different types of designs. Lots of cool designs imo don't really work in red or even brown henna. (tribal patterns, etc)
Here are a few I busted out. Was fun.
Lots of people are suggesting me to run some henna parties or workshops... I think I could make some fast cash and try to teach while ladies drink wine and gossip for 2.5 hours

Those are awesome, good idea about the henna party.

Beautiful designs.
Did some more this weekend at the Studio's Halloween Party/Open House.
Lotta the same stuff, didn't take pictures, but I did do one on my son that I snapped.
I was tired of the same swirly shit that the girls like and was itching to break the mold and make something cooler.
I wanted to make a band all the way around the arm, but the chances that he'd bump/smear the inside of his arm imo were pretty high, lol so I only did 1/2 way around
Was hard to take picks because my son's arm was too round to get it all but you get the idea:
