100 Boxes On The Wall
Well Ladies and Gents I have Henna and Do I ever have A LOT of Henna! 100 boxes to be exact! Email me and I will give you such a deal. About 1/3 of this Henna will go into making Henna Kits, 1/3 made into paste for applying at fairs and private appointments and 1/3 sold to other Henna Artists. This Jamilla pure Henna is the fresh 2009 crop and is body art quality, but it can also be used to dye your hair.
Glitter Wheel
We also have new glitter in. Yay! I love glitter, this time I got some very different and cool colors and I can’t wait to get creative with it. Glitter is applied to wet henna paste to bling up your design.
Glitter Toes
The glitter will stay on until the paste comes off and it has no affect on whether or not your design will stain, it is just for fun and if you wish to have it it is included in the service. I recommend glitter be used only for outdoor events as the stuff does get around!
Henna Moon Kit
New and Improved Henna kits. Henna Moon Kits include
· 35 Grams of Jamilla Henna
· one .12 oz vial of cajeput oil
· 2 applicator cones
· 1 j’bottle with .7mm tip – so you can use your paste again and again!
· zip lock storage bag
· Instructions, designs and aftercare.
All you need is a little sugar and lemon juice and some willing friends!
What is new to the kit is the J’bottle or Jacquard bottle. This is an art bottle that will increase the kit’s longevity. When you mix up all the paste and freeze it now the kit can be used more than once. This bottle can be stored in the refrigerator between uses ( I would not recommend storing it in the freezer as the plastic may crack). I more than anyone realize how difficult it is to make a Henna cone and that they are really only a one use item. Including the J’Bottle guarantees you will be able to use your paste more than once. I’m still including 2 applicator cones so more than more than one person can play at a time. Its just more fun that way! Also if anyone is interested I am more than willing to show you how to make cones. Just come by and see me at the Farmer’s Market and I’ll show you my mad cone making skills!
Henna Moon Henna Kits are $20 each and make a great Mother’s day gift.
And so do Henna Moon gift certificates!
Come see us at the Bellingham Farmer’s Market this Saturday May 8th for the annual Mother’s Day Extravaganza. I understand there is a raffle and that all the Market vendors have donated an item for you to win.
Thank you to all the Mom’s out there, for having us, protecting us, loving us and being on our side. There is no one like your own Mom!
And if you have not done so already, why don’t you go give her a call? You know you want to.
Happy Mother’s day everyone.

The designs you have posted on your blog are absolutely stunning. I noticed that some of the designs you have done are on other parts of the body that don’t typically stain well, but yours seem to have turned out beautifully. What kind of henna would you recommend and how should I prepare it to achieve the darkest stain possible?
Melissa, Thank you! I tell you I just use Jamilla Henna, mixed with Lemon juice, water, a bit of green or black tea, lavender flowers, mint, brown sugar and cajeput oil.
I guess my only advice would be to be sure your Henna Dye releases, and keep it in the freezer after that. Fresh Henna makes the darkest stain. Also leave it on for at least 12-24 hours.
