Here lies an Indian Rangoli, the impermanent sprinkling of pigmented dust, of various sources. Pritesh Dagur, the artist, is also a Chemist in Materials Sciences at The Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. She has written a new entry for the rangoli section of Wikipedia, which you may find at
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/rangoli#description.
Pritesh and her associates at Wikipedia describe the Rangoli-making process and its cultural context far better than I. She has been spreading samples her joyful art and knowledge through Internet social networks and community websites for a few years. When I participated in her friends network, she amazed me, always quickly answering most of my rangoli questions thoughtfully, articulately and thoroughly. One might assume that she has developed a steady cast of followers this way.
To view this and other priceless works by Pritesh, please visit her Rangoli site and enjoy the back catalog of her beautiful work:

A note to Kendra: Thanks for the helpful reader's question you asked. I believe Pritesh has made cards in the past and, from what I remember, they mirror her Rangoli aesthetic somewhat. I will ask her about this.
