How do you use your TapDancing Lizard E-Book?

These are books for working artists. Working artists often need more than one copy of a book to hand to waiting customers. You have permission to print extra copies of these books for yourself, for your own work table. If you put the pages into a display book with plastic sleeves, they will stay clean through the wear and tear of festivals! If someone dumps a lemonade on your book, or a page gets smeared with henna, you can replace those pages by simply printing a few more! You don't have to go buy a whole new book.

You may adapt these patterns into your own style, and use them as a springboard for your own creativity. If you post pictures of your work adapted from these books on your website, it's polite to cite the source of your pattern. If you post a picture of your work adapted from this publication, it would be lovely if you put up a link to Henna Page!
