Festivals of India

Hello Friends,

Incredible India.
This post is for my entry in  #Indian Quilling Challenge , #IQCG73 .
As the theme is about India , I have represented the  festivals of India.

In this post , I have depicted five festivals :

1. Sankranti / Pongal
2. Holi
3. Deepavali
4. Ganesha Chaturthi
5. Navrathri

1.  Sankranti / Pongal :

As you all know , this festival is dedicated to the Sun god. It represents the beginning of the  harvest season.
I have made a traditional mud pot along with sugarcane using Quilling.
Let me show you the details:
1. Pot :
Make three coils :

• First one is a tight coil using 5 quilling strips ( brown colour ) . Use 5 mm quilling strips.
• Second one is a hollow coil using 4 quilling strips ( brown colour ). Take a pencil for measurement.
• Third one is a hollow coil using 2 quilling strips.
• Make the desired shape and stick them . Refer to the picture.
• Decorate the Pot using acrylic paint.  

2, Sugarcane;

• Make 5 tight coils each using half a strip of 10 mm ( brown colour ).
• Attach all the strips together.
• Cut the leaves using 5 mm green colour strips and attach to the stick.

2. Holi:

Holi is the festival of colours. I have depicted the different holi colours by making quilling cones.

Also I have made the traditional Pichkari which children love to play with. 

 3.  Deepavali :

Deepavali is the festival of lights. I have made two quilling Pooja lamps. 

I have used grey colour quilling strips for this . Have put led lights for decoration.

4. Ganesha Chaturthi :

For Ganesha Chaturthi , I have made a quilling Ganesha idol . 

Refer here for the complete tutorial of making Quilling Ganesha.

5. Navaratri :

As navaratri represents the Goddess Durga , the nine forms of Durga. I have made a Durga face to represent the festival of Navaratri. Use 3 mm quilling strips . Refer to the picture .

I hope you all liked my creation.
