Very simple designs

These are some of the simplest designs, well, I can't say pint point the originality of the design as I believe this is too simple and it may bear resemblence to designs everywhere. Nevertheless, I find it the easiest to do.

The first one is done with my left hand. Working on ambidexterity of both hands.
  1. Start with the main design - a flower maybe?
  2. Work up with some curves and then, moving downwards.
  3. Add more patterns around the main design and we're done. :)


Next design is extremely simple; the only drawback - use of a significant amount of henna paste. All you need to do is
  1. Define the boundary of the design
  2. Put in repetitive fillers (i.e. flowers/leaves etc) with a small gaps in between each fillers
  3. Fill up the gaps with henna paste.
  4. Add additional designs at the boundary - Yea! We're done in 5 mins (^.^)

Just make sure that you've filled up the gaps in between. If you miss any, it will definitely show up later. It wouldn't look defined and sharp then.

Croc's tongue? Lol.

Initially I wanted to draw a design with a winter theme for Henna Garden's henna competition while watching Emperor's New Groove but end up with this. Oh well, it doesn't exactly display a winter theme but it's still a good practise session. Leafy motif depicting aloe vera? Lol.

My rose

I know it's been 2 weeks since my last post, nope, I haven't lose my touch yet but just a little cooked up with my other activities.
I've been working on Ebay recently, finally I found out how to use it. So now, I get to clear up the air and space, result of years of shopping and not to mention impulse buying! A little late but oh well, better late than never. ;p
Oh, you can also visit my Ebay and see if any item for sale tinkle your interest. Let me know. I'll be delighted to assist!

My latest henna tattoo. My rose. Not the average henna design but this is more lifelike with shadings.


Oh this, I'm practising the speed to finnish a simple strip. I want to clock the time to finnish one design well below 4 mins. I'm working on it really hard.
