Well that&#8217;s the case with today&#8217;s Checkered Paisley Cane tutorial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">This project was originally inspired by the intricate Henna Mehndi patterns from India and Pakistan, that are used to decorate the hands and feet of brides and their female guests in traditional ceremonies. The paisley shape is often used in this unique artform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/i9_4uwkEGZk?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"431\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The neat thing is that when I experimented with other colors in my paisley cane designs, it gave an entirely different look and feel. For example, when Red and White is used in place of the Raw Sienna and White of the Mehndi cane, there is more of a European Needlework flair&#8230; like that of the vintage linens found in a Paris Street Market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Alternatively, when the colors were changed to Black and White, the cane took on more of a Zentangle doodle style&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n2NoGIBFHCU?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"431\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So, I think you guys are going to enjoy the versatility of this project.
