Henna ~ Natural Dye
Henna was my first experience of public drawing ... freehand and on moving a target! The henna paste is made from ground leaves, essential plant oils and lemon juice. The stain remains on the skin for 1~3 weeks.
People have henna for all kinds of reasons from relaxation and pampering to displaying their achievements in show, and even Granny having a practical joke. I feel privileged to have worked up and down the country, from the Scottish borders to the south coast; at country shows, fayres, fetes and music festivals, meeting a fantastic array of colourful characters.
