Rangoli

Rangoli is an art form originating in India, in which patterns are created on the floor or a tabletop using materials such as powdered limestone, red ochre, dry rice flour, coloured sand, quartz powder, flower petals, and coloured rocks. Rangoli are usually made during Diwali or Tihar, Onam, Pongal, Sankranthi and other Hindu festivals in the Indian subcontinent, and are most often made during Diwali. Designs are passed from one generation to the next, keeping both the art form and the tradition alive. I made this Rangoli in November 2015 using edible products only.

It's Florencia's face but with blue/green coloured eyes. Thought as a merge between her and me into the smiling and vibrant look that comes from being in love.

Sinimustvalge

Sinimustvalge, the estonian flag.

"Sinine ja must ja valge ehitagu Eestimaad!" (Lipulaul)
"The blue, the black and the white build Estonia!" (Flag song)
According to Martin Lipp's poem "Eesti lipp" the colours represent:
Blue: vaulted blue sky above the native land;
Black: attachment to the soil of the homeland as well as the fate of Estonians;
White: purity, hard work, and commitment.

So, I took my brushes, oil colours palette and hands to work!
(Sorry the pictures aren't very good, because the colours are being a bit distorted)
