Rangoli-36-Reusable Rangolis-3

Here are some more. But this time square designs...

I have placed an green craft paper under the cellophane sheet. This is a very small and simple design made using Kundans.

The next step after the above design.

    A swastika here which is considered auspicious by Hindus...

Keep a watch on my blog...more to come....

Computer Art

Friends I have tried my hand at this art. I don't know whether you can call this as an art. But I just wanted to create some things like these for sending them to my friends by SMS..But then I thought why not on my computer so that I can share them with you. I think I will call this Computer Art. Can you suggest any other name?

I will use these motifs for painting on my handkerchief, Cushion covers, Bed linen, kurthas or scarves or chunaris. This will look great with black on white background or vice versa. 

So you can use these as free patterns. They are also good for embroidery. What do you say?

Blouses-Kalamkari N Jaipur Print

Friends here is one more blouse. This is a combination of patch work of Jaipur print and Kalamkari, with some sequins work . These blouses are still in fashion and are a huge hit. Being multi coloured they can be worn with many contrasting or similar coloured saris. These can be worn with plain or printed saris too. Though the blouses are stitched, they have to be fitted to individual requirements.

Here it is

This is the front side. Front open. See the combination of patches and the sequin work is not too much just highlighting the design.

This the back side.

See the patch at the back

This is the sleeve.

A closure look at the sleeve and look at the Kalamkari print.

I have some more but don't have the time to photograph them. I will post more next time.
