product containing para-phenylenediamine to stain skin. Para-phenylenediamine may cause
severe injuries to both artist and client.

The Cursive S
1) The Cursive S
The cursive S is a lovely thing. Many people curse their SS's and fail to appreciate
their beauty.
5) Make a skinny S
So many people look at their S's and wish they were thin. Skinny S's are good for
pointy leaves and petals.
7) A kick in the S!
Kick up the tail of your S!
10) Wind lazy S's around a center for an easy flower; a lazy S flower.
9) Try making tight S flowers, fat S flowers, kick-S flowers and skinny S flowers.
10) Double your S's by pairing up big S's and little S's!
11) To make lovely ferns, you'll have to get your S on backwards. This takes
practice!

Sloopy!
1) This is Sloopy.
Sloopy is the very relaxed cousin of Foofy. Foofy's kinda wound up tight, but
Sloopy likes to hang loose.
Tribbles
3) Make a row of Tribbles marching to the right with their tails held high!
7) The excited Tribbles are jumping up and down and holding their tails very high!
Ripples
Ripples are a traditional pattern in many cultures: they represent flowing water. In arid
regions, flowing water may symbolize pleasure, wealth, fertility, or purity: all the things
that are connected with the joy of finding pure, flowing water in the desert. In India,
ripples are incorporated into henna patterns celebrating the coming of the monsoons. In
Islam, running water purifies a person for prayer.
1) This is a ripple:
7) Ripples coming from a central point look like water flowing from a fountain, and
accent the central figure.
22
Ripples are a traditional pattern in many cultures: they represent flowing water. In arid
regions, a person with no water rights was poor indeed, and might have to carry water a
great distance every day. A wealthy person who owned a spring enclosed and
ornamented a household fountain so women would not have to carry water from the
village well. The enclosed springs stayed clean, and didn't evaporate during drought.
These ripple patterns show enclosed fountains and ornamental water gardens, often used
as metaphors for a wealthy, fertile, protected woman, or for spiritual purity.

The Kiss
8) If you can rotate your "Kiss" perfectly, you can make a pretty flower!
A big "kiss" is popular in a country with beautiful henna traditions!
27
9) If you put a row of kisses on top of other kisses, it's sweet as a honeycomb!
Knotted
This figure looks a bit like a rope with knots tied in it. A series of these knots looks like a
graceful leaf. This is one of my favorite elements: it's easy to do, and it can be used to
quickly make large, expressive leafy designs..
1) You can get a merit badge if you learn to tie your knots perfectly!
2) Draw your henna line into a loop, then make a tight scribble, like you're tying a
knot.
When you do this in henna, let the paste form a little blob.
3) Tie knot after knot, in a row, and decrease the size with each knot.
4) Practice doing strings of knots to make leaves reaching for the sunshine.
5) Practice doing strings of knots to make leaves drooping from the rain.
31
3) If you tip them to the side, they also look like leaves.
4) Practice making rows of open hearts, larger and smaller, and try to get them
neat and even.
9) Wear your open hearts around your arm (but not on your sleeve!)

Kitty Whiskers
Make the milk drop on the kitty whisker by making a little twirl at the end of the
line.
3) This is a Kitty Whisker from a kitty that got into the whipped cream.

Pug Tails
This may be the first henna squiggle you ever did!
10) When Pugs roamed wild and free in the mountains of Puggsylvania, they often
came home with leaves and flowers stuck in their tails.
48
The Seed
1) This is a Seed
The Seed is a little blob of henna, that you make with a quick, firm squeeze on your
henna cone.
2) You can make different Seeds by pressing less or more on your cone, and pulling
the line out or keeping it still.
Make long ones, round ones, tapering ones, fat ones, skinny ones. These look like rice,
watermelon seeds, orange pips, tomato seeds, radish seeds, sesame seeds .... all the good
stuff!
