Black and White Henna Strip Study

Description

This black and white henna strip study hex tile breaks every rule about what a hex tile is supposed to look like — and is better for it. Four vertical panels of densely hand-drawn henna pattern fill the hexagon in narrow bands, each one packed with swirling paisleys, mandala flowers, dot clusters, and botanical flourishes. The panels vary in width, giving the composition an organic, almost architectural rhythm.

This is original artwork by Bridget Koonce, and it draws directly from the henna tradition of filling elongated spaces — fingers, forearms, the backs of hands — with continuous flowing pattern. Translated to the hex format, those long vertical strips of pattern create something genuinely unusual: a tile that feels both familiar in its mark-making and completely unexpected in its layout.

The partial, edge-to-edge cropping adds to the intrigue — the pattern simply arrives, fills the space, and exits. It pairs wonderfully with the more symmetrical pieces in the collection as a counterpoint. Browse all of Bridget’s Originals or explore our Henna collection for more.

This tile is UV printed on 1/8″ Baltic birch wood for a warm, natural finish that makes the colors pop. The back is engraved with the HexWallTiles website. It comes as a standalone tile — you can use sticky tack to apply it directly to your wall, or pair it with one of our hexagon frames for a more finished look. Frames, necklaces, and all other hexagon accessories are sold separately.

Wondering where to hang it? HexWallTiles work beautifully in a home office, bedroom, or living room. Hang a single tile as a standalone statement piece, cluster several together for a gallery wall effect, or wind them down a hallway for something truly unexpected. The hex shape means every arrangement looks intentional — there are no wrong choices.

Made in small batches from natural materials here in Springfield, Missouri. Please allow for slight variation between tiles — that’s part of what makes each one unique and handmade.

Sizes available: 1.5″, 3″, 6″, and 12″ width.
