Rangoli-235

This was something I found in one of the magazines. It reminded me of kaleidoscope which we as children were much familiar with. Even now I love to see the various coloured patterns that form when we rotate it. 

I think the above design can be used for free form Rangoli. One can use parts of it and develop further or can draw just as it is. It looks very colourful but too intricate for me to replicate it. 

Well designs which are drawn free hand can also be drawn as Rangolis. It just depends on our creativity. One need not even fill it with colours  Just intricate drawing filled with patterns of lines, dots, dashes etc. too form a very beautiful Rangoli. 

Search the net with the word "kaleidoscope" and you will find many colourful designs. They are fascinating and inspiring.

Hi friends. Sorry I could not post past few days. I scheduled some Rangolis but something was wrong and I didn't have time to check back and see whether my posts were on time or not. 

Well recently I saw in some sites, my Rangolis have been posted after masking the water mark. I usually put the mark a little away from the designs so that people who want to learn these designs should not face any problem and the designs should be clearly visible. It really hurts when I come across such things. First they don't take permission to use my photos. OK  at least they should link back to my site or mention the source(my site) and leave my water mark on them. 

I spend so much time on creating these designs and posting them. Most of them are my own. I can make money by publishing a book instead of sharing them freely with you all, isn't it? But I share them so that one can learn and use them freely, for personal purpose-not post them as their own on their sites. They should really be ashamed of themselves for stealing my work, masking them and posting them as their own. It really put me off. 

But I promised to post many new designs. So here is one Rangoli a traditional combination of water lilies/lotuses and butterflies:

21 dots in the center row, straight dots till 1. Join as shown.
