Rangoli-267

Republic Day Special

27 dots 7 rows in the center, straight dots, 25, 23, 21, to 7. 

Wishing you all                               
A very Happy Republic Day on the 
occasion of 64th Republic Day......

Update:
Someone asked me how I get ideas for Rangolis. For this Republic day I wanted to create something different, unique and creative and also big. 

I started as usual with our national flag. Then I went on to add lotus which is our national flower. Then I got stuck. I had lots of dots before me in a haphazard fashion. I kept on trying different shapes. I struggled like that for nearly 2-3 days. Then I thought I could fit in some peacocks(our national bird). But that too was very difficult. I could some how fit the birds. But I struggled with their tails. Once I was satisfied by the peacocks, there still were some loose dots left in the center. Then I drew some lotus buds carried by the peacocks. Suddenly it was a perfect Rangoli. 

My struggles and trails were worth it because this Rangoli gave me immense satisfaction.

I love peacocks. The colours of their plumes, feathers and body itself is really amazing. So beautiful. It is no wonder that they have been used as motifs in textiles, paintings and in many art forms. Well here is one Rangoli of Peacocks.
This is 25 dots 5 rows in the centre and then, 23, 21, 19....till 5 dots. Join as shown. Hope you like it.Watch out for more....

Rangoli-74

Peacocks Rangoli

I have already said in one of my posts that for Rangoli designs birds and animals along with flowers are the subjects. Peacocks are perhaps the most popular theme for Rangolis. Swans, parrots and parrots occupy the next place. Peacocks are the most beautiful birds just to be seen to be believed. So colourful  so no wonder they are most popular with artists who paint or who create Rangolis.


Here is the design on Peacocks as chief theme.
These are peacocks, Lotuses, butterflies and flowers with six pointed star in the centre.


For this,  21 to 11 dots are placed as follows:
Center Row 21 dots, 
Next Row  20 dots -place in center point of dots of above row 
and so on 
till the final row is 11 dots


See how they are placed.
Join the dots to get the design as shown above.


Hope you like this. This is a bit complicated, so needs a lot of practice. More such to come...


Keep a watch on my blog....
