Hi friends,
Happy Varamahalakshmi Festival to all.

| Quilling Goddess Lakshmi |
Goddess Lakshmi is the goddess of wealth, fortune, power, beauty and prosperity. I have tried to do the Goddess Lakshmi idol in quilling. I hope I have done justice to it. Tried to to sitting posture of the goddess with four hands.
I have also made two quilled elephants to keep on both sides of the goddess. I felt very happy seeing the complete idol. This is one of my favourite creations in quilling.
Hope you all will like it.
