Embroidered Butees-10

PEACOCKS-7

Here is the last butee in this series. This one is smallest of the available. I bought this for the blouse to match the sari as well as some to be used for the sari itself.

All these butees were available in different sizes, designs and shapes. Some were filled with heavy work and some were very simple. The price depended upon the size and  amount of work done etc. I choose a few of the variety for my sari. It will take some time for me to complete attaching them. I will post the pictures as soon as I have completed the work.

Friends I have given all the butees in detail so that you may note down and use it in your works. I enjoyed sharing them with you. Hope you have enjoyed too.

Keep an eye on my blog. I will post some other butees  next time.......

Rangoli-99

Shiva Lingala Muggu

Friends I am so sorry I could not post this Rangoli in time for Shiva Ratri. I was so busy travelling. Shiva Ratri is an important festival for us Indians, more so for us Andhras. Andhra was earlier known as and refereed to in ancient texts as Tri Linga Desam- a state where there are three Lingas of Shiva. Tri Linga with time became Telugu as shown below. We are Telugus and our language is also known as Telugu.  

Trilinga---;Telinga---;Telangu---;Telungu---; Telugu 

The three Lingas are: 

• Lord Bheemeswara at Draksharamam (East Godavari district), 
• Lord Kaleswara at Kaleswaram (Karimnagar district) and 
• Lord Mallikarjuna at Srisailam (Kurnool district).

Linga is the form in which Lord Shiva is worshipped. Shiva Ratri is the day when Lord Shiva is worshipped through out the day and night. Ratri means Night. It is believed that at 12 mid night on Shiva Rartri, Lord Shiva appeared in the form of Linga. Hence that day we keep fast and also keep awake the whole night. It is an important festival for our State.

Here is the Rangoli I created for Shiva Ratri:

The dots for this Rangoli are 15 to 1- straight dots placed like this:

Then join as shown in the Rangoli

Hope you like this. This Rangoli can be used for any special occasion like Puja at home or during the month of Karthika.

 

Embroidered Butees-9

PEACOCKS-6

Here is one more butee and the pair.

           Peacock Butee

               Peacock Butee-Pair

I feel that  they looked very grand and not loud. I plan to attach them to a silk sari. I am yet to start it as I am constantly travelling and I am also in a quandary as to on which colour sari would these look good. I have few silk saris with me on which I wanted to do some work. Let us see.

Another butee in my next post...Just watch for it and enjoy.....
