Wow... where do I start? When I first tried henna there wasn't a ton of information available, but now all you crazy kids have access to www.thehennapage.com which is more information than you can shake a stick at.I hope this demo gives you a nice visual starting point, but for any detailed questions, the people at The Henna Page have really gone the distance in providing a lot of info that I just can't fit into an instructional video.I've ordered henna from quite a few places, but I last had dealings with Henna Muse and was quite pleased. You can get a kit to get you going and do your own henna for as little as 9$. http://www.hennamuse.com/catalog3.htmlThe owner is certified through the peer henna certification program, as there are no federal certifications, and is just a sweet lady on all accounts.*****It's important that when you're searching for henna that you only buy henna or pre-mixed henna paste from reputable dealers such as those listed on Henna Page. Unfortunately, there are low grade, chemical and crap laden pastes out there that will at best, not stain well and at worst, be seriously dangerous and unhealthy. Henna is a NATURAL product and you want to make sure you're getting real henna, not some chemistry project some mystery company invented and slapped into a tube to try to undersell the quality stuff. Quality stuff doesn't even cost that much, so you have no excuse for playing Russian Roulette with dodgy paste that's pretending it's real, natural henna. *****Music is:: "Why I'm So Unhappy" by Dntel "Blood, Milk and Sky" by White Zombie======================I have a few videos that I'm still trying to edit. My next one will likely be on Japanese Nail Art making 3D shapes from acrylic. n...n I hope you'll all be patient with me while I prepare it.

Aug 20, 2008 - Heh heh... Children make exxxxcellent test beings! Actually I thought it was so cute, children always want tattoos when I do them at faires and such. All the little boys want flaming snakes and skull dragons. XD I think it's something kids really love to try to do themselves as well. One of the best things to practice with (besides willing subjects) is sketching to get familiar with different shapes you like to make. Also, you can practice with toothpaste! n.n

Aug 20, 2008 - Oh, heehee. n.n The nail art one... Well, I have all the video for it, but I just felt like it was filmed too far away and I should take more "up close" shots and then never got around to it... I really should though. Maybe I can start in the next day or two. <33 Thanks for reminding me.

meandrousart Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - You're welcome! Your cheerful use of caps has made me feel very appreciated. <33333 XD Take care! :D

meandrousart Says:

Aug 20, 2008 - Please, go right ahead. I bet it will be awesome! n.n Sure, perhaps I can post some more. Sometimes it's hard for me to find the time to do henna though, so I was thinking I might just post some henna patterns online for download rather than making new videos. Would that interest you? If so, let me know and I can message you when I get around to it and make them available.

meandrousart Says:

Sep 29, 2008 - this was beyond awsome. hey whats the second song on the video?

meandrousart Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - I don't care. I just made it up, and I don't care if you do. There's no copyright.

meandrousart Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Sorry, I can't show this stain, I never took a picture later on. If I do another design some other time though, I'll be sure to. Thanks for watching!

meandrousart Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - That's really cool of you to say. I'd like to see any designs you do. :)

meandrousart Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - I learned when I was young though, so it's no big deal. :) Just keep with it. That's a good tip. I usually use a lemonjuice mix with sweet in. It's a bit sticky, but helps keep it pliable.I'll try and show the stain next time.

meandrousart Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - The music is listed in the video description.XD I think you're cool too! Yay. :3

meandrousart Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - I'm sorry, if you don't want to order it online, I don't know what to tell you. If you don't have a high Indian or henna-using population in your area, you're probably unlikely to find any henna of quality in a store. Most henna pastes I find in stores are just awful. You really want a high quality powder. Online, or having someone else buy it online for you, is the best option.

meandrousart Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Please do. :)

meandrousart Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - Aw, well... I'm glad it did! Be sure to check out hennapage. They have a ton of info!

meandrousart Says:

Nov 16, 2008 - It's in the video description. :) I was a really weird kid. White Zombie was my favorite group when I was a wee tyke and this is still one of my favorite songs from the Astro Creep album.
