Oh this is going to be quite something - kids are back at it after dinner - and the front, palm side of hands are getting done too
Quick preview now, more when it's all done.
Not sure how/when Kid1 is going to sleep (the longer it stays on the better, darker it'll stain) - perhaps with gloves on.
And it's done!
Here's the palm side of Kid1's hands - #HennaArt by kid2
(And no glove won't work as I guessed earlier - what do I know - that would trap moisture, and smudge design)
Came back to see the done/removed henna on Kid1's hand
(One finger and thumb didn't stain so well, and that was henna from a new tube - hmm does it have to oxidize first a bit to work better?)
Just posted the start earlier 👆🏽 , but I didn't conclude Friday night Kid2's self #HennaArt as it got late and kid2 didn't want the pic out till the henna came off the next day.
And then the weekend got busy, but/so here you go now, you too can enjoy Kid1's self #henna
(Stopping/ending this thread here)
Been a while - ha and it looks like it's a Friday night activity - since Kid2 applied some #Henna
Well, she's at it again (while I try and get dinner ready).
Excited to see how this will turn out
Kid2 got a bit of a henna cone with her to Orlando as she hangs out in the hotel room
Here's a bit of this evening's work while I was out working the poster session
Been a while, but adding to this thread 🧵/n
of Kid2's #Henna #HennaArt
This evening's handiwork on partner and then on me (just the start shown)
She had asked us earlier in the week if she could decorate our hands and to let her know when. Excited to see how this'll turn out!

Partner's and my hands from this evening
And mine after the final bit that I requested.
Why yes, that is the structure of lawsone that is responsible for the stain
#Chemistry
Omfgg!
Little did I know when kid2 started this on kid1's hand that it would turn out like THAT!!
(In a bit over an hour - her speed has ⬆️)
After decorating kid1's hand (see 👆🏽), Kid2 decided she wanted do decorate her own hand with this henna cone. Not the most elaborate on herself but still a delight. She likes how this stains well.
Friday evening Kid2 getting Christmassy on her own hand and arm
Kid2 henna-ed a new 'friend' who got #henna for the first time. Said friend, who works in a nail salon, did kid2's nails last week. First time Kid2 got her nails done - excitedly so, as she doesn't have to play piano for 2 weeks. She got a cat eye design (and the process was "just like the videos on Instagram"!!)
