Quilled Shapes-4

C-Scroll

                C-Scroll

Take a strip of paper and identify the mid point. No need to fold. Roll one end clock wise till you reach a little distance from mid point. Ease it off the tool and let it set itself. 

Similarly roll the other end anti clock wise till it touches the first coil. That is both rolls should be towards inside and touching each other. Now ease it off to the work surface. 

Both the rolls should be of the same size. They will be loose and form a "C" shaped curve .

Practise this with shorter lengths of paper first till you get it right.

No marriage celebration is complete with out the Gummadi Kaya Pulusu or pumpkin soup.

Here is the Rangoli of Pumpkins:

The dots used are 13 to 1.
