Our friend came to see us Saturday, and you couldn't help but notice this wonderful henna artwork on her hand and arm.
The art work was drawn free hand, By Emma Frankland.
Sciencey Bit:
Whole, unbroken henna leaves will not stain the skin. Henna will not stain skin until the lawsone molecules are made available (released) from the henna leaf. Fresh henna leaves will stain the skin if they are smashed with a mildly acidic liquid. The lawsone will gradually migrate from the henna paste into the outer layer of the skin and bind to the proteins in it, creating a fast stain.
Since it is difficult to form intricate patterns from coarse crushed leaves, henna is commonly traded as a powder made by drying, milling and sifting the leaves. The dry powder is mixed with lemon juice, strong tea, or other mildly acidic liquids to make a preparation with toothpaste-like consistency, which can be used to make finely detailed body art. The henna mix must rest for 6 to 24 hours before use, to release the lawsone from the leaf matter. Essential oils with high levels of monoterpene alcohols, such as tea tree, eucalyptus, cajeput, or lavender, will improve skin stain characteristics.
The paste can be applied with many traditional and innovative tools, including resist, a cone, syringe, Jac bottle or fingers. A light stain may be achieved within minutes, the longer the paste is left on the skin, the stronger the stain will be, and should be left for several hours. To prevent it from drying or falling off the skin, the paste is often sealed down by dabbing a sugar/lemon mix over the dried paste, or simply adding some form of sugar to the paste. It is debatable whether this adds to the color of the end result; some believe it increases the intensity of the shade. After time the dry paste is simply brushed or scraped away.
Henna stains are orange soon after application, but darken over the following three days to a reddish brown. Soles and palms have the thickest layer of skin and so take up the most lawsone, and take it to the greatest depth, so that hands and feet will have the darkest and most long-lasting stains. Steaming or warming the henna pattern will darken the stain, either during the time the paste is still on the skin, or after the paste has been removed. Chlorinated water and soaps may spoil the darkening process: alkaline products may hasten the darkening process. After the stain reaches its peak color it will appear to fade, as the stained dead cells exfoliate.
My akwardly large man-hands have ruined my dreams of ever becoming a hand model. I do however have an awesome birthmark shaped like a heart on my finger. Can you find it?

Hands
If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be that we're all ok
And not to worry because worry is wasteful
and useless in times like these
I will not be made useless
I won't be idled with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
for light does the darkness most fear
My hands are small, I know,
but they're not yours they are my own
but they're not yours they are my own
and I am never broken
Poverty stole your golden shoes
but it didn't steal your laughter
And heartache came to visit me
but i knew it wasn't ever after
We will fight, not out of spite
for someone must stand up for what's right
cause where there's a man who has no voice
there ours shall go singing
In the end only kindness matters
In the end only kindness matters
040/365 Give me your hand...

It is just a scan of my hand, not a photo.
The idea of gathering photos of our hands was started about a year and a half or two years ago on fotolog when a severe earthquake hit southern Iran. Its 'only' virtual hands-on help - but every act, for good or not, starts with imagination.
It's so funny to see how something like your fingers look when pressed upon a surface. I mean when do you ever get the chance to see that?

My boyfriend and I were holding hands last night when our cat Oscar, who was laying on my boyfriend's lap, decided that he wanted in on the action too.
10th July 2009 - Miserable day at work, reports took forever (well, worked through lunch, and did 3 hours unpaid overtime and I still hadn't bound them all). Only thing that kept me going was that I was determined to meet a leech. The event was the Wellcome Collection , "Quacks and Cures". Place was packed. Need to go back soon to see the collection properly. Was really interesting.
