Dotty Henna
There are a few essentail elements in henna designs, dots are one of them. It is worth while spending some time mastering these and knowing some different ways to use them effectively.
And finally, dots can add a whimsical feel. Add them randomly in different sizes as dots and spots, or use them to imply shapes such as leaves.
To make a dot, hold your cone tip slightly above the surface and squeeze while holding in place. Do not attempt to 'draw' a dot unless it is not a dot but a large spot. Experiment with how large you can make your dot. Holding your cone tip in place and allowing the henna paste to 'pool' around the tip will give you a perfectly found dot. Lift the tip directly upwards with a quick snap to stop the tail dragging out and spoiling your perfectly round henna dot. Have fun with them! Try doing different sizes and spacings. Remember that there are different ways to use dots that compliment your design in different ways. Enjoy your dotty henna fun! How much sugar is in your paste will make dots easier or harder to do.
