Friday-Free Patterns

Friends I am late in posting the Free Pattern. I couldn't post this pattern on Friday. However here it is...
This is a floral vine. You can see the flower, leaves and small berries. This is is a traditional or classic design. I found it on one of my saris with some other motifs. I have drawn only one part. It was a long vine but this part is repeated that's all. 

Floral vines are very popular as classic designs or motifs of India, mainly used to decorate, the textiles, temple walls etc. On temple walls they are sculpted onto the  stones. They are also used on walls as decoration.

You can paint it or embroider it. Chain, Running, Satin stitches, Knot stitch (for berries) would be great. This can be extended by adding the vein above or below or on the sides. This can be used vertically, horizontally or in slanting position. Perhaps, using it in slanting will create an interesting pattern. You can also use silk threads, Zari (metalic threads)  kundans, beads, stones etc for embellishing would make it more attractive, rich  and different.  

Hope you like it. Do give your feed back and let me know how you like  these motifs and designs......

More to come...so keep a watch on my blog.

Rangoli-77

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.

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