Quilling SriChakra

Hi Friends,

     The Sri Chakra is a form of mystical diagram (yantra) used in the Shri Vidya school of Hindu tantra. It consists of nine interlocking triangles that surround a central point. For details refer here .
I have tried to make the Sri Chakra using various quilling designs.
Take a yellow Kg cardboard of desired size. I have used orange , pink , blue , green , red and yellow colour quilling strips.
The details are explained below:

• Step 1 

Draw the Sri Chakra with the desired dimension.  

• Step 2

Colour the shapes with the different colours of your choice. Make quilling shapes in coordination with the colours. 

• Step 3

Give a black outline to the drawing by placing the black colour  quilling strips ( 3 mm )in a vertical fashion. In the similar way complete all the lines using black colour. 

•  Step 4

For the first triangle use orange colour quilling strip. For the next layer make triangles using pink colour quilling strips. For the third layer use blue colour and for the forth layer green colour quilling strips. 

• Step 5

The next set of triangles is done using red colour quilling strips. 

• Step 6

Fill the empty spaces using yellow colour quilling strips. 

Once done the complete Sri Chakra is designed . 

I hope you liked it.

Hi friends,

             Lord Jagannath   is a deity worshipped in regional traditions of Hinduism  in India.  Jagannath is considered a form of Vishnu. He is a part of a triad along with his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra. For details  Click here.

I have made these deities ( Lord Krishna , Balabhadra and Subhadra )  using Quilling. I will explain how to make it. Use only 3 mm quilling strips to complete the art work.

• For the lips make a curved  marquise shape using orange quilling strip (2 strips ).
• For the complete face fill it with black / white / yellow comb shapes.
• For the crown I have made yellow colour tear drop shapes using half quilling strip.
• For the chin part make tight coils of gold and yellow colour strips (half strip).
• Make two fringe flowers (yellow colour) and stick it on both sides of the god.
