Rangoli-84

Floral Rangoli

I seem to end up with Rangolis using 13X7 dots. While I am drawing one design, ideas flash through my mind. So immediately I try to put them on paper lest I forget. So I end up posting designs with same set of dots :). But I think I should post designs of different themes, sizes and shapes. I will keep this in mind in future.

First place 13X7 dots.

Join the dots as shown 

Another way of drawing it.

Decorate it with borders on two, four or all six sides to enhance its beauty.

More to come so keep a watch on my blog....

One more Rangoli on Six Pointed Stars. This is a bit geometrical. Again 13 X 7 dots placed in between as follows:

Then join as follows

I have added the blue arches out side the dots. That is they have been drawn with out dots. Hope you like this design. This is easy to draw and great one for filling colours...

More to come so keep a watch on my blog....

Lotus Rangoli-7--Lal Kamal and Neel Kamal

Wow! This is my fiftieth post on Rasngoli. For a person who is very busy, I am happy and surprised that I could do so many many posts. But still there are many many designs I want to share with you all. Any way here are some designs for Dashera. I am calling these as Lal Kamal-Pink Lilies and Neel Kamal-Blue Lilies..

This is 13 to 7 dots. This is easy. The center flower is fully open Lily or lotus.

This is 15 dots 5 times straight (one below the other) and then till 7. You can follow the dots in both the designs. If you have any doubts please mail me.

Hope you like them. Some more next time......

Rangoli 46

One more of the Floral Rangolis. I love flowers. This is very small and simple design. 

This is 13 to 7 dots. Flower in the center and surrounded by  leaves. The flower resembles the white flower below it is known as rekha(single petal) Nandivardhanam. 

Don't you see the similarity. Many of the folk arts, rural arts including Rangoli were inspired by every day images. These flowers are very abundant, common sight in South India and used in worshipping Lord Shiva. They flower profusely through out the year and are also very good for health. So the above Rangoli has been inspired by this flower.

I think you can notice the similarities.

Candies N Toffees

Rangoli is an expression of Indian women's creativity. We express our creativity through our Rangolis, creating new designs to suit the occasions like festivals, seasons, celebrations, moods, emotions etc. So the subject for Rangoli can be anything. It depends on the skill and creativity of the person for creating Rangolis on many topics or themes. These days we are creating new designs based on various modern themes too. I will try to post such ones when ever I can. Some of them, I have created and mostly what I have come across and kept a record of, which every Indian women who is interested in Rangolis does.

Here is one such Rangoli. You can see the candies or toffees wrapped in their wrappers.

This is 13 to 7 dots placed in between like this....

So how do you like it????

Here are two more designs using 13 to 7 dots...

Rangoli-26

It has been a while I posted some Rangoli designs. The problem is I have so many from my Mom and Grans' notes, but they are all in tatters and I have to understand them and draw afresh. While doing so I also get flashes of creativity to create my own designs. All this takes time. Then I have to photograph them. Cutting and editing them again  is rather time taking. Any ways.... Here are some.

These two designs have been drawn using 13 to 7 dots. You can see the black dots in the designs.

Hope you like them. I have still loads n loads to share. But I want to group them now like say Lotuses, conch shells, birds, swans, fishes, elephants, kites etc. So its taking time...Bear with me please....
