Rangoli with GIMP

Y-Knot on her blog Y-Knot Blog has experimented with Rangoli designs using GIMP. They are so beautiful. She started with those Rangolis which are drwan using lines. Now she has started with those using dots. 

They are so beautiful. Alas I don't know how to work with GIMP. I am tempted to learn it because I feel one can create so many new designs out of one design by using this method. For now I don't have that much time to learn. But after looking at her creations, I am tempted to learn it.

She has done a great job. I am just amazed at her creativity. the designs look very different too. But I feel some of them are very difficult to actually draw with hand. 

Any way just follow the link and see the beauty of her creations, how she has played with them. I was very much tempted to post some of her photos but I could not wait till I took her permission...I was dying to write about her creations...So here is the link.

Thanks a lot Y-Knot. They are just very beautiful creations. You are one talented person. I will try to keep on posting some different designs so that you can experiment with them. I loved going through your designs.

Rangoli-88

I have not completed my Sankranti Muggulu series. Those are the designs specially meant for the festival of Samkranti. That I am going to post later.


But for now a simple one.

17 to 1 straight dots. This is easy to draw and for filling colours too.

Friday- Free Patterns

I could not post last Friday. However here is one pattern here for you.

                      Free Pattern

This is again a folk or tribal pattern from Bengal. This looks like a horse to me. But I am not sure. Still it is looking cute. Looks good whether painted or embroidered.

This would look great for children's clothes. But I feel it would look great on saris or blouses if you want that ethnic look. 

Try it out and show us the result....
