Belated Diwali Greetings!! & Images of Quick Rangoli design done with stensils over glittery pocket folder surface. { Diya Images with Rainbow Color illuminations.}

On this auspicious Diwali occasion wishing all followers, Readers and visitors a Very  Happy and Joyous Diwali glowing with Peace, Prosperity and Good Health. May all the evil tendencies disappear forever from this world and let Supreme Peace prevail.

This year I drew quick Rangoli by using three different stencils. Most interesting part was 2$ shiny glittery sand paper like textured two pocket folder from Walgreens made a magical rainbow effect when I lit  the earthen oil Diya / Panati. I cut the pocket folder in the center, used glittery part to draw rangoli and other plain shiny side used in the background to get rainbow color effect. Later I played around by using other folder side and few earthen diyas. I took few beautiful rainbow like glowing reflection design images. I was delighted to see the results and happy to share with you all.  Scroll down to enjoy stencil Rangoli and Diya pictures with Rainbow color illuminations.

I liked the beautiful thought  of diya artist

 to carve "OM" in the center of  the Panati.

Diya is  reflecting Rainbow like streaks 

over glossy pocket folder background.

Flat glass marbles added beautiful touch to the Rangoli.

It was nice creative fun to play around with diya and shiny  pocket folder. Any light reflection on this glossy folder illuminated multiple color patterns. It was hard photographing glow free image of folder, I have taken the back side to show exact color and texture. I started with single diya, changed angles and added multiple diyas to get different illuminating designs and colors.All the following pictures are taken without using flash around 10 am.

[A] - Started with single diya placing on flat folder surface.

[B]  I slightly curved folder from back side, pattern changed.

[C] - I captured  morning sun's rays from window over folder, 

focused  it towards wall, see  how it reflected like rainbow.

[D] - Added two more diyas, colorful reflection design changed.

[E] - Grouped three diyas in Triangle shape, this gave
 beautiful multiple color glowing streaks all around.

[F] - same above pattern captured in vertical angle.
