I just wanted to put up a quick note for those who are looking into henna at India Restaurant in Providence, RI and are somehow a bit confused :) I have been getting a bunch of calls from people lately who seem to think I still do henna there - more calls than when I [...]
On the Henna Gathering forum I moderate, someone recently expressed their frustration at people both stealing their photos on Instagram outright, and also using the images for inspiration for their own henna work, copying a design almost exactly without giving credit to the original. Here's my response (unedited here - so please don't mind the [...]
I just drew, digitized and ordered this season's Henna by Heather tshirts!
