I am writing this blog post to show you how I have used quilled designs in Rangoli. In India Rangoli is used for decoration at the time of festivals and other festive occasions. It is a tradition in India to decorate the Thali (Dish) with Rangoli while taking meal at festive occasions such as Marriage, Maunjibandhan etc. In Marriage the Rangolis around the Thalis of marrying couple are considered as necessary. Generally this Rangoli around thali is made by using pearl beads or decorated card board etc. But I have made these two Rangolis for the Marriage with a new quilled design, which is simple looking, as I didn't have enough time to do much quilling work.
I have used theme of Indian Peacock for these two Rangolis. Both These Rangolis are having five parts with the same design, but there is only a slight difference of shade of green colour used in both Rangolis. Now you can see the photos of these two Rangolis.

And after showing all these photos I want you to take a close look of Peacock's feathers, so have a look!
I have made these Peacock feathers by using ten strips for single feather. All strips were having 5 mm size.
- First Strip (Central Strip) - Dark blue
- Second Strip - Slightly light blue
- Third Strip - Very light bluish green
- Fourth Strip - Greenish yellow shade of olive colour
- Fifth Strip - Shade of green colour (I would have preferred yellowish green colour giving fluorescent appearance, but it was not available.)
- Sixth Strip - Greenish yellow shade of olive colour
- Seventh Strip - Greenish yellow shade of olive colour
- Eighth Strip - Dark green colour
- Ninth Strip - Dark green colour
- Tenth Strip - Greenish yellow shade of olive colour used for making triangle below the blue eye of Peacock's feather.
That's All!
