Ok, I'm trying to figure out the new LJ cuts.... hope this works

I finally found the cord for my camera & was able to transfer pics onto the computer. The first few are of mehendi - the tradiional henna artwork done on my hands in a Delhi marketplace by two brothers, who charged me the whooping sum of Rs.50 ($1) to do this wonderful art.

Cuts work fine!
Wow... that's more bull than even Fred could haul!

[ichthyus]

lol - I bet he'd give the horse a run for its money if he could

[fatfred]

Fred's too lazy.
He'd just lead the bull around and advertise the fuel as "Fresh!"

[ichthyus]

nooo! it doesn't work when 'fresh' - it needs to be dried first - in little cakes on the side of ones mud hut with thatched roof! I'd love to take FF with me to India & see his take on it. He is NOT allowed to seduce the cows, though - It might be the cause of the first Indo-American war.

Wow, that's REALLY cool!

[ichthyus]

I liked it too *grins* Go India!

Yanno, I would so like to do some work with someone wearing henna. And these of mehendi are excellent!

[ichthyus]

how about immediately after I return from India this year? It lasts about 2-3 weeks, but is at its strongest the first week

[madshutterbug]

When are you going? Also, see same question from Skippy (fatfred) above. Similar reasons.

[ichthyus]

July or August I think

The mehendi is gorgeous!

Wow, between the cost of waxing and hennaing, India is a true beauty bargain! Too bad the plane tickets there are so expensive...

[ichthyus]

yuppers! The awesome thing is that ze parents paid for it *grins*

Heh. I got that done once, during my last trip. Have you told your friends how long it takes to dry? *evil grin* I accidently cracked some of mine off in a few places because I just couldn't stay that still! I wonder if I got any pictures of it...I'll have to look! :)

It is beautiful. *tears*

[ichthyus]

lol - me too...

thanks, hon.

If you you ever wish to try another trip to India, to replace bad memories with good, you know you'll always be welcomed by me & my family.

[babyblue5950]

I will keep that in mind. :) You are awesome.
