Hi All,This Diwali, me and my neighbour decided to make homemade rangoli. We made Rangoli with gems (artificial gems, mind you :o) on acryllic sheets. Here is what we could achieve.

This was all we could achieve during diwali. One weekend after Diwali, I tried my hand with the remaining gems. I used the different bases, cardboards from packing or the extra tiffin covers.
Hope you like them too. Here they are same, one after the other.
 
 
  

After the geometrical designs, I decided to try for a peacock. The mistake I made was, I should have made a rough shape of the peacock before I starter sticking the gems but I just started doing impromptu. Next time, I will definitely get the shape better than what is seen below.

 

Hope you get some ideas if you want to try a homemade rangoli next year.

Rgds, Poornima
