Kolam/Rangoli/Muggulu Photo Frames

I had done this Kolam Photo Frames on 10th of September 2013 (Exactly two years) Its been in hibernation for the last two years and I almost forgot this episode.. I was mining into my hard drive for some other reason and accidentally I happened to see this folder. A pleasant surprise for me. Still, I couldn't recollect why I dumped these creations. Two years ago, I was organising my photo folder and some wanted to get printed as I wanted to create an album of my little one. When I was searching for some ready-to-use frames online, an idea sparked, why not in rangoli powders.. That made me to create four frames, the other one yet to stand under the limelight.

I have done two more designs in a plain white colour against black colour background. I need to sit down to compile into a collage, yet time has never permitted to slice my time from the routine. Wish I had more time to concentrate on my interests. Though I have many in the bucket list, yet to fulfill.. Hopefully, by the start of January I will be having more time, the start of next academic year, where my little princess will learn and spend her lot of time in the school.

When the idea struck, I was looking for a perfect base at home. Alas, nothing was available. And the only thing my eyes spotted was the a table calendar. The black hard paper became my base for the photo frame. The first design, nothing special except experiment with the colours. I have used all the colours which I had then. I just placed a pinch of all colours and pressed with my index finger, for a round effect. Some colours used in the first image are self made colours, especially the light green shade. That was from my little one's water colours. Mixed the colour with rice flour and dried in shade. As said earlier, I have experimented all types of coluring agents to create a colour powder.

The second image has three shades of blue in it. I tried my level best to differentiate the shades, but I feel the colours have a gradient effect instead of distinct boundaries. This blue shade frame will go well with the oceanic scene photos. Though I haven't printed photos with these frames. I have another set with black and white theme which I shall upload in near future. The white and black combination always excels other colour combinations, Hope many may agree with me.

The last frame with a theme of Plumeria flower theme, though the flowers in the frame don't even have a tint of the flower shapes, still I correlate to the colour scheme. It was difficult to squeeze the strokes within a small area and needed a steady hand to execute. I don't remember How much time it took to complete... Hope, not more than an hour as that's the time slot I always have to execute kolams. Hopefully to execute more kolam in future. I will try to update this post as soon as possible with other set of kolam photo frames.
