The
Hump
The
hump is the most frequently used element in Indian Bridal henna
pattterns. Practice perfect humps, multihumps, parallelohumps,
humptybumps, daisyhumps, poseyhumps, filler humps and
borderhumps.
Happy Humping!
1) The Hump 2) Practice making rows of humps. Try to make multihumps
perfectly even and very fast.
3) Make parallel rows of humps. Parallelohumps are bracelet
basics.
4) Do a double row of humps to make humptibumps. Humptibumps are great for edging
larger patterns.
5) Pile up rows of humps like bubble froth for bubblehumps. Bubblehumps are great for filling
up blank spaces. It takes practice to get these perfectly even.
Try filling whole lines of notebook paper with fast, even bubblehumps.
6) Wind humps around a dot to make daisyhumps. Practice daisyhumps until you can
make a row of them quickly, with all the petals even.
7) Wind humps around a circle to make poseyhumps. Again, practice poseyhumps until
you can make them perfectly even every time.
8) Try combining daisyhumps with paralellohumps. 9) Practice humping along the edge of a wavy line with perfectly even humps. 10) Humping on the edge of a figure is a great coverup for a less-than-perfect border line.
