Rangoli-69

Lotus Rangoli-9--Lal Kamal and Neel Kamal

Friends I promised to post some big Rangolis. Here is one. Not so big but yes big.

You have to place 17 dots 7 times. Then on one side leaving one dot of the above row on each side place 15 dots ie., straight  below the dots of the  above row. Similarly place, 13, 11 and so on till 7 dots in the last row. Repeat this on the other side. Then join them as shown above. Colour according to your choice.

This is from my designs of Blue and Pink Lotus series. Hope you like them. Do leave your comments and suggestions if any .

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

Rangoli-68

Here is one more of the Rangoli on Diyas. This is very simple.
The basic block is 5X5 dots. I have just added four blocks together. One can just use one block for a small design.



Embroidered Lace

In my last post I posted a pink n blue embroidered butee. The embroidered border or lace I am posting here was in fact chosen in combination with that butee for one my saris. I don't know how far it would look good on the sari for which I selected. Well I will be posting the pictures of the sari when completed. So you will have to tell me then.


Anyway, here it is:
This is 9 meters for sari and blouse. Below is a closer look at the design. This lace has been embroidered with silk and gold threads and mirrors. Here the mirror is not the glass type but plastic one. They are not really durable and one has to be careful while ironing as they may get burned.
Well what do you think?....


Keep a watch on my blog for some more of the beautiful laces and borders....
