Warli Art in Quilling

Hello friends ,

       Warli Art is typically referred to the paintings done by the Warli tribe located in North Sahyadri Range in India (outside of mumbai). For more details on the art you can refer to the wikipedia.
I have tried to represent Warli art through Quilling .
I have used the basic quilling shapes and designed the art work. I have used maroon colour 3 mm quilling strips to complete the picture.

Today I have drawn a simple bridal procession followed in the royal family , even today we see it in smaller scale followed in northern India . 

The procession shows pictures of big Nagari(a) drum being beaten by two persons and in the middle there is the bride sitting palanquin lifted by palanquin bearers on either side.
Another person is playing a trumpet in front of the palanquin.
We can also see dancers and person beating a dhol drum (hanging from his neck ) 

Make your own Warli art and decorate your living place. 
I hope you liked this creation. Please share your views.

Quilling Rangoli ( Mandala )

Hello friends ,

          Rangoli is an art, origin in India in which patterns are created on the floor  using materials such as coloured rice, coloured rangoli powder or flower petals. It is usually made during festivals.
Rangoli designs can be simple geometric shapes, deity impressions, or flower and petal shapes.
I have made a beautiful Rangoli using Quilling. I have made the design on a white  Kg cardboard.
The concept I have used here is Astha Ganapathi (Eight Ganesha ) design. 
In the center of the rangoli , I have made a design using the basic quilling shapes. I have used multi colour quilling strips. 
The rest part of the rangoli is covered with the eight Ganeshas ( different colours ). This has also been done using quilling.
Plz note: I have used only 5 mm quilling strips to complete the rangoli.

This Quilling rangoli I made on the occassion of Ganesha Chaturthi. You can use your own creativity and  make your own designs and patterns. Make your own quilling rangoli and please dont forget to share with me.
