Mehndi Tip Monday: Dots, dots & more dots!

I recently posted a picture on my facebook page of a henna doodle that I did and explained the importance of thick/thin lines & a tip on how to achieve them. A few people messaged and said they found the tip very helpful so I thought why not do another one!


So here it is. My very own, 'Mehndi Tip Monday': 

It's probably become quite obvious from my designs on my facebook page (and I think I've also mentioned it before) - I love dots! If you haven't got a chance to check out my designs, here's a link to my facebook page: www.facebook.com/DivyasHennaArt. There's rarely a design where I don't used dots. Although they can be a bit overwhelming sometimes, they really do help to accentuate any henna design. And when I say dots, I mean descending (in size) dots. It's hard to explain in writing but the pictures below should be a good visual for what I mean when I say 'dots'. Because the dots wouldn't work that well with full traditional bridal henna, this tip is specifically for Indo-Arabic designs. It would work very well with bridal henna as well - but simple bridal henna.

Be sure to add some dots into your design & you'll notice how much of a difference it makes! 

Simple, arabic-style design. You can tell how the dot-patterns around the paisleys and florals really make the overall design stand out. 

The dots may not be as visible as they are in the design above, however, when you look at the overall design, you can tell that the dots really help to make the design more flow-y & delicate.
