Today I'll unleash your inner henna artist and have you drawing henna designs all over your friends and anyone else who will sit still. Once you've mastered the lines and the curves and the dots and the leaves that you need to do with, you can start branching out into some other designs. One typical design that you'll find in a lot of Indian designs is the Paisley, and I'm going to show you how to do the Paisley. Paisley is basically just an "S" that you connect up, and I'm going to show you how very simple it is to make a Paisley. So you just start with the top of your "S," and then you curve it around, just making an "S," it's very simple. And then when you bring this end of the "S" around just connect it up with the rest of the thing, and there you have a Paisley. And then you can kind of touch it up a little. So I'll show you again. Just make and "S," and then connect it up. And then you can start playing around with this and doing different shapes, and kind of exaggerate your "S," and have some fun with it. And then you just fill it with any kind of designs you want. So you could use some of the flowers that you've been practicing, and just have fun with it. The Paisley in India is also known as the Mango, and it's considered a fertility symbol because the mango has that big seed. So this design is used in a lot of bridal designs to wish the bride many happy, healthy babies. So, there you go, you have a Paisley.
