pa.NK1476.R35Description
"In the traditional Indian home, the threshold is important. It is auspicious and safeguards the home and all who inhabit it. It may be rough, and in many cases, mud-caked. But always, it is beautiful. The threshold and on festive occasions, the floors of the house, are decorated with rice-flour motifs. They are a form of thanksgiving, covering a myriad different designs, patterns, symbols. In this 'book' we present some of the basic floor decoration motifs and doodle pages alongside. These pages have dotted lines on which you can take notes or work out your own patterns by joining the dots."Collection
