Here is one more simple rangoli. Easy to draw.

17 to 1 straight dots, placed one below the other as shown below:

This is only for guidance. You have to place 17 dots till you reach one and join as shown above and colour.
Hope you like it. Keep a watch more to come.

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...

Friday-Free Patterns

Here is one more folk or tribal motif. 

This is a warrior on his horse. The folk art depicts every day life and all those events which occur in the lives of the people. This includes, fishing,  hunting, agriculture, dancing, marriage, festivals, etc. Motifs inspired by legends and folklore also are quite common.

This motif can be painted or embroidered. Chain stitch running stitch etc many be good. How about Redwork? I think that will also be good.

Hope you like this. Keep a watch for more patterns and motifs to come....
