Rangoli-38-Borders-2

Its raining heavily now. So I have to do my post as quickly as I can as heavy rains result in problems with power and also Internet. Well here I am.

Friends of late I have not posted on Rangolis much though I am doodling many new designs as well as recollecting and collecting old and traditional ones.  Here are some traditional designs of Borders which are used for decorating doorways, stairs and also on the edges of Rangolis to give a finished look. Some how a Rangoli design does not look complete with out borders on its edges. 

These are simple straight lines. But with a little creativity we can make beautiful designs.

Adding curved lines to these straight lines make them even more beautiful as you can see in the pictures below.

Oops! I sometimes don't keep track whether the paper I am drawing is straight or not. The result you can see .

Hope you like them. Some more next time.

Keep watching......

TAST-2010-24th Week -Siennese Stitch-2

Here I have used the glass tubes and small glass beads in shaded colours.

This looks very delicate and elegant. This can be used as border on dupattas or saris or even tunics and blouses as well as children's dresses. This is very easy to work and will be completed in no time. 

So what do you think of these?  Please do leave your comments....Keep watching
