Watch Out

What a relief. It is really nice to finish off the project I was struggling day and night  for the past four-five months. Thank God finally it is almost over. By the end of the month I will be completely free. But I am now relatively free. It is a great feeling after such a strenuous work to be free. 

I need to rest a lot as I strained myself and was almost on the edge of collapsing. Looking back I don't know how I pulled on. Everything went wrong from the beginning and it was a huge mess. I had to grit my teeth and somehow pull on by sheer will power. Many a time I thought of quitting. But leaving the battle field mid way is not my style. All this had affected me and my health very badly. I could not eat properly or even sleep. Lots of travelling, meeting dead lines...phew! It was a horrible night mare like situation. I feel so burnt out and very tired.

Well all it matters is now I am slowly recovering and gaining my strength bit by bit. I will take it easy in the next few weeks. So friends, I have already picked up my needles, tools or what ever and got back to my passion of Arts N Crafts Projects. I may not be able to do much in the first few days as I still don't have much strength to sit for long or continuously. But my mind is full of creative ideas. I need to note them down and give them shape one by one. Lots of pending projects to finish too as usual.. :)  :)

Well this yellow hibiscus cheered me up this morning. You too enjoy it....

With Diwali the festival of Lights fast approaching, I need to do so much..So be ready for, I am going to share my work with you.....

Rangoli-133

Dassera Special

This is 19 to 10 dots. Join as shown. 

The motif in the centre is called as Vistaraku-the plate made of a particular kind of dried leaves and is used to serve food; used on auspicious occasions like marriages, religious rituals for offering Prasad(food) to Gods etc. It is hygienic and biodegradable. In the Rangoli above it is surrounded by six point star which symbolises Sri Chakra. This star is surrounded by three diamond shaped motifs symbolically representing the Maredu Dalam. 

Maredu Dalam  also known as Bilva Dalam- the three leaf lets of Bael tree native to India and South Asia. These leaves (trifoliate) symbolise the trident of Shiva and are used for worshipping HIM. Hence the tree, its leaves and fruit are not only sacred but also have very extensive medicinal use. It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi(wealth) resides in these leaves. 

Amba or Goddess Parvathi-consort of Shiva also is pleased when we worship her with these leaves during this Navaratri(nine day) festival of Dussera or Dasara.

This Rangoli I feel represents the spirit of Dussera. What do you say?

Actually I have another version of this Rangoli which I will post later.

Flower Pots

Here is the Flower Pots Rangoli with flower plants and butterflies. 

This 15 to 1 dots(Straight). The pots can be drawn straight too.

It is very easy and colourful. Colouring it is also easy as one has to fill in small spaces at a time.

Hope you like this.

Watch out for more.....
