Colours for Peacock Rangoli Designs
A real peacock uses royal blue, turquoise, green, gold and a little purple. For a 60 cm design keep about 100 g each of blue and green, 50 g of turquoise and yellow, and 100 g of white for outlines. A big peacock of 1.5 metres needs around five times that.
- Shade the neck from dark blue at the bottom to turquoise at the top.
- Use a toothpick for thin feather barbs.
- Gold glitter or kundan stones on feather eyes look rich for Diwali.
Tricks for Neat Feathers
Press the back of a spoon for feather shapes, then dot the eye with a cotton bud dipped in powder. A bangle makes perfect round eyes. For a long tail, sprinkle green through a tea strainer and then draw barbs with a comb. If you want a permanent peacock, try paint rangoli designs on tiles.
