Quilling Kathakali

Hi friends,

Kathakali  is one of the major forms of classical Indian dance. Kathakali primarily developed as a Hindu performance art in the state Kerala. I have  attempted to do quilling art on the Kathakali face. The colourful Kathakali face interested me in doing this art work.
For this I have used only 3mm quilling strips of different colours.

• Face - I have made tight coils using green colour quilling strips. For eyes and eyebrows I have used black colour comb flowers. For lips use red colour marquise and tear drop shapes. 
• Beard - Make white colour comb flowers to complete the beard of the image.
• Crown - Make fringe flowers and tight coils of different colours to complete the crown. The primary colours used are yellow , green , orange , blue and red. 

You can also give an outline to the face by placing the quilling strips in a vertical fashion. 

You can use your own colour ombination to decorate the image. 

I hope you liked my creation.
