Easy rangoli designs - beginners

Though I have drawn all the designs myself personally I am thankful to my family for the inputs, information and help in drafting all the posts so far.  I have used the terms kolam  rangoli quite freely in all the posts. Probably there would have been differences based on classical (!) explanations in the past but today kolams can also be colourful like rangolis both in the free hand and dots type  I find that even the terms rangoli kolam and kolam rangoli are used at  present. The only area where I think kolam are different are in sikku kolam and arisi maavu kolam. Both are beautiful, challenging and can be intricate . Rangoli is muggulu in Telugu and so this post will be useful for those in search of small and simple muggulu for beginners.  This post   may have answers  kutty rangoli /kolam designs The rangoli in the image below is one of the basic designs that can be used for learning.   Form a star with two inverted triangles.   ...

Peacock is one of the most popular themes for rangoli designs drawn for Diwali or competitions.  This is a traditional free hand design drawn without the basic outline being drawn with a chalk piece as is usually drawn.  

First the central part is drawn using a paisley design.  Then we have the head portion and the tail portion.  Decorate the outline with dots and designs. 

 Now that I have been using tools available at home! for creating designs,  I wanted to try filling up the colours with a lemon squeezer to get the plumage of the bird.  It was quite interesting and the result also very beautiful, I think.

  This method would be a simple n quick method to create a peacock rongoli after drawing the bird, free hand.

I have created easy flower patterns inside the pattern with different colours that may be considered to represent the feathers.  However, this post may also be useful for a Diwali peacock flower rangoli design.
