I'm sitting on the toilet, listening to Matt Kearney's "Runaway," typing this, because I'm kind of freaking out, and this is my attempt to calm myself down...
So I've been commissioned to do bridal henna for a bride for her traditional Indian wedding, which means my henna designs have to be fucking kick-ass. While I can do pretty good designs, and I can copy pictures pretty well, I can still mess designs up because I haven't really had as much experience doing specifically bridal henna.......eeeeeek!!
But I took the job anyways, because I need monies, and I can probably actually do a good job, I just have this thing where I pschye myself out of EVERYTHING.
By the ways, I'm typing this in Internet Explorer, so if I spell things wrong, it's because I've become too dependent on the spell-correcting feature on Firefox....eh.
If I remember, I'll update on how it goes today..............................................asdlkfj;alsdkjf;alsdkfj;ldsajfa;sdlkf j;asdlkjfa;sdlkfj a;lsdkfj;adslkjfa;ldsfj;alsdkfj asd
***EDIT***
I did some KICK-ASS henna for the bride, and I did some KICK-ASS henna for the other guests at their party. I got $375 for about 13hrs of work...not including the 4hrs of drive time it took over the two days. I think I'll have to include gas next time....AND raise my prices! but, I am $300 richer, so I'm pretty happy right now, as well as, finally, confident in my ability to do good henna. I just need to keep doing it, if I take too long of breaks in between doing henna, I lose my creative juices, and I just end up with crappy designs. So, next time, I'll make sure to practice on people before I go for another big commission.
Hey! I did something! I set myself out there, I marketed myself and my abilities, I freaked out a lot, but I followed through, regardless of the consequences, and turns out, I did a really good job. I accomplished something, and I did it really well! Turns out money can do a lot to motivate a person.
