practicing
I need volunteers upon whom I can practice the ancient art of mehndi, or henna body art. I'm not ambidextrous so my right hand must remain unadorned. Anyone?

I need volunteers upon whom I can practice the ancient art of mehndi, or henna body art. I'm not ambidextrous so my right hand must remain unadorned. Anyone?
"I thank You God for most this amazing day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything which is natural which is infinite which is yes"
--e.e. cummings
About Me
- Name: Kati
- Location: British Columbia, Canada
I am a writer, artist, gardener and wounded healer with a special interest in the natural world, the re-enchantment of design, and healthy, fabulous food. My home is my garden and workshop, and I use my travels as inspiration. I enjoy stepping off the beaten path to discover the unexpected and to re-connect with the awesome power of Nature to rejuvenate my soul.
