Part Time Job

Dear Art Diary,

I have done some work in the past working with different media and subjects so below are my work that I have done with Red Henna and Black Henna, temporary tattoos. This is my part time income making work of art. Although the art that I have made are not original but I have given my twist on the original version. The designs I copied or I've reinterpret with my style are taken and found from the Internet and other research and books outside the net. Hope you enjoy it ;)

Black Henna - Not everyone skin can take black henna. If your skin can't take it you will have a itching and burning sensation and blister looking ta too the next day. Don't panic cause the old time 'minyak batu' does the trick and the old mother's tale of no seafood, egg etc... Doesn't matter whether your skin is sensitive or not we may get it and you may not. To find out do a test first.

The Lizard - a mix of red and black henna. Black henna stain really easy it just take 15 minutes to dry (as long as you don't sweat alot). This may last a whole week or two then slowly fades off. The red henna however takes a longer time to stain (hours) when you remove the paste it will normally be more darker red in colour on the 2ND day and it doesn't stay long maybe around 4 to 5 day it will start to fade off.

Red Henna - Unfortunately this photo was taken in black and white but even if it's not the ink or paste looks dark when applied or when it is slowly drying but after a few hours voila you have red stain. I like using this one cause it's safe and natural henna is good for the skin. I use red henna to treat my black henna scar too.

Only by request I do black henna. Depending on the design I can draw out with henna 5 to 20 minutes. I have more pictures to show you but I have to find them first. These are just a few that I have not downloaded into CD yet.

Love Amy
