Thank you for the information about warli painting, Raji.  Now I'm off to the internet (unless you can suggest a better place) to find out some more about this tribal art.

thank u so much..........

warli painting is a tribal art in India .geometric images of human beings & animals are created in a rhythmic pattern. The themes chosen by the artists are mainly from nature. Harvest is one of their major themes. One other very popular theme is that of a wedding festival. The subjects found in these paintings are fields swaying with healthy crops, birds flying in the sky, group dancing around a person playing the music, dancing peacocks,  women cooking or busy in their other house chores and children playing. Warli art always contains groups of people.

this art form is a way of communication among people.painted on mud/charcoal surfacewith rice paste [for white colour].

 For the Warlis, life is cyclic repeating it eternally. Circles best represent the art of warli, which has neither an end nor a beginning. Death is not the end for them; rather it is a new beginning. Similar to their religious beliefs the warli paintings carry this circular and spiral movement that gives an everlasting joy

i like those designs & tried hand embroidery with back stitch.
