My parents were on vacation for a week and the maid had quit the job. It was my responsibility to take care of my home. During the course of time, I learnt many household chores.
Everyday, I would see the lovely Rangoli's drawn in front of everyone's house. I was thinking hard, what could be drawn for a week without repetition? I noticed each and every Rangoli for 2-3 minutes to understand its complexity. Once I noticed a Rangoli drawn without any dots. I tried this simplest design on a sheet of paper before I drew in front of the house.
PS: The quality of the pics are low and shown only for illustration.
Step 1:

Fill with your favorite colors.
Simple isn't it? :)
I call it Star Rangoli.

Your rangoli maybe simple, but it will be superhit in Israel. It afterall resembles the Star of David.
ReplyDelete@ flyingstars, Thanks.
ReplyDelete@ Joel,Let me try a few good ones and I can participate better.
@ Priyank, Never knew it was called Star of David, though I've seen it many places.
Even I love making different Rangoli designs every year. This Diwali I am surely going to pick something from here. Lovely designs must say! Thanx for sharing.
