Rangoli-81

Here are some simple Rangolis again. 5X5 dots for each block

One block

I have used these blocks here by placing them separately one near another without combining.

Another design slightly modified.

Here I have combined the dots of each block with other. That is one row or column of dots are shared between two blocks.

GEOMETRICAL Rangolis

I wanted to post so many Rangolis. But I had some problem with my camera. Any way now that I have got it rectified, I will be posting more Rangolis. Especially since Pongal is nearing more so.


Here are some Rangolis which are Geometrical. I could draw only few designs that too smaller ones. I din't have time to pen bigger ones. These are easy to draw and good for flats and houses with lesser space in their front yards.

These are 5X5 dots.

These blocks can be used as such or combined with other blocks or designs to form new ones. I will try to post some more bigger ones next time.


Hope you like them.

KITES

Friends here is one more Rangoli . This time it is Kites. Kite flying is a sport- an ancient one. I will write in details about it some other time. But every child loves to fly Kite. Children collect Kites of different shapes, sizes and colours.  In Northern and Western India this time of the year say August to October and  January to March as the light breeze helps in flying Kites. Sankranthi or Makar Sankranthi or Pongal is celebrated through out India in different ways. Kite flying and competitions in kite flying are much popular during this festival.

So keeping this in view here is Kite Rangoli...

This is 21 to 1 dot. Just see how the dots are placed and joined. 

This is what Rangoli is about-reflecting every day life, celebrating festivals and other events. Women create different Rangolis drawing inspiration from every day life.

Queen Bees

Here is one more Rangoli-this time Queen Bee. You know, Queen Bees occupy an important position in the colony of bees. Though they are only meant for producing more and more bees, with out a queen bee there is no hive.Worker bees select the larva and develop it into queen bee. She is specially fed and developed so that she can quickly produce the bees. Usually there is only one Queen in a hive. Most of the bees living in the hive are given birth by her. 

My grandma used to say that if queen bee leaves the hive, other bees too follow. Any way here is the Rangoli of queen Bees:

This is 21 to 1 dots. You can see it from above how to place dots and how to join the dots. Hope you like it.

Celebrating Christmas 

One of the things I love during this month long Rangoli festival is that we get so many occasions or festivals where we can show our creativity through our Rangoli designs.  Since Christmas is fast approaching I am experimenting  on creating some thing based on this theme. 

Here is one of my attempts.

This is 20 dots 2 rows in the center. Then leaving one dot on each side place 18, 16, 14 ....till you reach two dots Placed like this.

Then join as shown in the design. 

I have drawn, bells holy, candles, candy sticks and curly paper ribbons. I have used the traditional colours of Red, Green, white and blue. I tried for the festive look. I hope that I have succeeded in bringing across the same.

So come join me in celebrating the Christmas and the festive season.....Oh! by the way, this Christmas why don't you try something new to decorate your house. How about this Rangoli design on your doorstep, filled in with red and green colours? Wont your friends and family be surprised? So try it out and let me know.

Hope you like them. I will be posting much more...So keep an eye on my blog.....

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...
