Forest of Ferns
Forest of Ferns
Ferns are so beautiful to see. Here is a forest of ferns to hike through. The word fern reminds one of the nostalgia of youth in the autumn of life. One such poem yearning for the golden days of youth is the Fern Hill of Dylan Thomas. The closing lines of that poem are given below: Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means, Time held me green and dying Though I sang in my chains like the sea. - Dylan Thomas The full poem and details may be viewed hereunder: http://www.gonemild.com/2008_10_01_gonemild.html Regards! - mOhana

Sure, I'll add the appropriate tags and titles once the voting is over. By the time these rangolis go to settle down in their respective folders, in the Gallery, they'll all be fully categorized!

Neat work and wonderful decoration.
What have you used for the borders.. are those golden color pipe cleaners.
I like the texture of the rangoli.. is the standard rangoli powder or have you used salt/rice powder or something like that.

It will be nice if you can please share.

Excellent piece of art.. keep it up

Thankyou... I was waiting for the voting to get over to post my reply. The golden borders were created by cut bangles. The rangoli powder is a ready mix powder that I got from Baroda.It is well prepared and when sieved with a tea sifter it spreads uniformly. It gives a velvet mat effect. Alternately, it can also be prepared at home, only that it involves a bit of work!! I thank one and all for the appreciative comments.

Broken bangles used as border/outline? wonderful.When i visited My brother's place in Baroda my sister-inlaw presented me Baroda rangoli powder and took me to the Rangoli exhibition too.The powder is very good, u will love to use it often.
