Rangoli of the day
2018- Aadi Velli- Aashada month is Aadi month in tamil, the begining of Dakshiynaya punya kaalam ....All of our festivals begin after this month.
I have tried to draw the weapons of the Universal Mother....She has a Paasha (Noose), Ankusha (Goad), Five flower arrows (Ashoka tree flower, Mango tree flower, Blue and White lotuses and Jasmine flower), and a Sugarcane Bow.... Paasha represents Her power to bind and free obstacles.... Ankusha represents perseverance on the path of spiritual practice (She is able to drive us just like a mahout)....The five Flower Arrows represent our Five Senses and the Sugarcane Bow our mind....
Abhirami Andhaadhi is a set of 100 shlokas in tamil on the Mother Goddess Abhirami....the 85 th shloka talks about Her weapons...
85. பார்க்கும் திசைதொறும் பாசாங்குசமும், பனிச்சிறைவண்டு
ஆர்க்கும் புதுமலர் ஐந்தும், கரும்பும், என் அல்லல் எல்லாம்
தீர்க்கும் திரிபுரையாள் திரு மேனியும், சிற்றிடையும்,
வார்க்கும் குங்குமமுலையும், முலைமேல் முத்துமாலையுமே.
Meaning:
Saw I, in all directions,
And I saw her hands with the Pashangusha,
I saw those five arrows made of flowers,
Followed by bees,
I saw the bow made of sugarcane,
I saw the Goddess Of Tripura,
Who puts an end to my sufferings great,
I saw her narrow hips,
I saw her covered breasts,
Applied with saffron,
And I saw her garland of pearls.

Friends as usual this is my E kolam(Embroidary Kolam)
On seeing the design it does looks like our Padikolam. So I tried it out in a mati cloth by cross stitch.
How do you like it?
After seeing the quilled rangoli, I remembered my old quilled kolam saved somewhere in the PC. Thoosu thatti eduthen. I didn't have the patience to edit and submit only the kolam part.Its kind of not visible fully due to the camera angle.
This wall hanging has been done using glass(different shapes & sizes),velvet sheet and lace.
Procedure: 1.First decide the design.
2.Paste the lace using fevicol (it is better to have very thin lace).
3.Stick the glass in between the lace.
Friends,
I just want to give my contribution then there.
But what to do?
My kaivannam is crafts and embroidary only.
O.K. O.K. Let me be an excemption from kolams.
Lata, doing embroidary works can also be consider as handwork equal to kolam no?
