It is a book about ambigrams but doesn’t include even a single ambigram. That’s because the book doesn’t want to provide readers with mere ambigram gallery (The web contain lots of awesome ambigrams) but it aims at providing hundreds of useful links to the readers in a systematic manner to help them explore ambigrams on their own with a proper channel.The book is useful to all the beginners, learners and expert level professionals in ambigrams. It is The Encyclopedia of Ambigrams. The book thus can also be used as a Web-link Directory to discover more ambigrams in a fun way.</span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
Dear readers, we
all are living in the golden era of computers & gadgets. In this
dynamic world, one must be updated with current knowledge & must
be able to upgrade himself with the changing global scenario.
<br />
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
Internet, one of
the important parts of our day to day life offers us many things.
Social networking is one part of it. Almost every one of us is much
familiar with many social networking sites such as face book,
twitter, orkut, whatsapp, pinterest, tumbler, instagram, youtube &
many more. Blog is also like that. Blogger is a social site having
lot of importance worldwide but unfortunately, very few of us know
about blogs. I feel proud of having its knowledge & using
applications of blogger. So as a blogger, I’d like to share some
blogging tips with you in the following article</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm;">
<b>B for Blog –
</b>Blog is a truncation of the word ‘web log’ (diary on
Internet) It is a form of web diary; you can write & share with
your friend, circles & public. The person writing a blog is a
blogger<b> </b>& every article in a blog is a Blog-post. All the
Blog posts in a blog are arranged in a reverse chronological order,
such that fresh post remains at the top of the page.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm; margin-top: 0.42cm;">
<b>Before Blogging – (Blog Vs Website) </b>Blogs are like websites,
but both are not the same. Creating a website requires lot of
technical skills, knowledge of computer languages like HTML. But
blogs are very simple to create & maintain. Basic computer
knowledge is enough to get started with your blog & if you are a
good programmer, then you can also customize your blog using HTML (As
per your choice)</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm; margin-top: 0.42cm;">
So anybody with basic computer knowledge can easily startup with a
blog without much technical skills.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm; margin-top: 0.42cm;">
<b>Blogging Basics – </b>Blogs can be of various types like News
Blog, Art Blog, Fashion Blog, Photo Blog, Video Blog, Bolly Blog,
Study Blog, Professional Blog, Music Blog, Food Blog, Recipe Blog,
Travel Blog etc.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.35cm; margin-top: 0.42cm;">
You can choose any topic of your interest & start Blogging with
it. You can start blogging in either of the two ways.</div>

You get your own
domain name, thus your blog address will be http://yourname.com</div>

In free
blogging, you have to choose any blogging platform & your

Free Blogs have many restrictions

they may ask for their share

<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-auVrhcDXaIs/V5hCr1xuoOI/AAAAAAAAAS0/nCWBtaiiWx437YMhHwDVR5xyKoUpKwKyACLcB/s1600/TEXTURE%2BDRAWING%2B%2540%2Bdhavalsartblog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>When I was in 8th and 9th standard we had drawing competitive [drawing elementary & intermediate] exams of Maharashtra State Government, (India). That time we had some texture drawing techniques in our syllabus. So I learnt some of the techniques from Subodh Narvekar’s Book for Elementary & Intermediate Drawing Exams (Navneet Publications, Maharashtra, India).<br />
<br />
The Book is really awesome and is available in almost all stationary and book stores in Maharashtra. Sadly I don’t know about the availability of that book outside Maharashtra.<br />
<br />
Following are some techniques out of which some I have learnt from the book and others are my own.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-auVrhcDXaIs/V5hCr1xuoOI/AAAAAAAAAS0/nCWBtaiiWx437YMhHwDVR5xyKoUpKwKyACLcB/s1600/TEXTURE%2BDRAWING%2B%2540%2Bdhavalsartblog.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-auVrhcDXaIs/V5hCr1xuoOI/AAAAAAAAAS0/nCWBtaiiWx437YMhHwDVR5xyKoUpKwKyACLcB/s1600/TEXTURE%2BDRAWING%2B%2540%2Bdhavalsartblog.jpg" /></a><br />
<u><i><b>Atching</b></i></u>: Apply a thick layer of paint on the paper & create designs using a needle or any pointed thing before the paint dries. <br />
Also Try Night Atching: 1) Draw & color picture with colour pencil 2) Cover whole picture with Black wax crayon 3) Use atching technique on this surface.<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Stippling:</b></i></u> Give a light wash colour on the paper & let it dry. Meanwhile, make the dark & thick shade of the same colour/ the contrast colour. Dip the brush in the thick paint & make dots close to one another. You can also use two or more colours in shading (like blue & green in this example)<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Mosaic:</b></i></u> Geometrical shapes close to one another making a pattern.<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Gradation:</b></i></u> Using different shades of the same colour side by side to make a pattern. Use white to make light shades & black to make dark shades. Don’t use water for lightning of colour.<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Spray Painting:</b></i></u> Dip the toothbrush in the colour & spray it on paper by rubbing your thumb against the toothbrush on paper.<br />
You can also draw & cut a design on another rough paper & put it on the new paper & then spray on it. After spraying, remove the rough stencil & you will get a plane shape of your design on the paper surrounded by colourful spray dots. <br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Water Dots: </b></i></u>Firstly make thin colours in the colouring palette. Then apply water onto the design on the paper where you want to use this technique. Dip the brush in color & just touch & leave it on the wet design in a second. The dot will automatically expand. Give more of such dots & make a beautiful pattern.<u><i><b></b></i></u><br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Seed Shaped Mosaic:</b></i></u> Using seed like shapes close to one another making a mosaic pattern.<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Tile Mosaic:</b></i></u> Using Tile like shapes close to one another making a mosaic pattern.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Hatching:</b></i></u> Giving strokes to colourful sketch pens making a hatching pattern<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Shading:</b></i></u> mixing two colours in each other while painting & showing different shades.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Waves:</b></i></u> Painting waves to make a pattern.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Dry Brush:</b></i></u> Dip a dry brush in a very thick colour & make a pattern by giving strokes to the brush on the paper<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Blade Painting: </b></i></u>Cut a blade in 6 pieces. Take one piece & dip the slightly curved part in the paint & score it against the design. Repeat it & make a pattern.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Wax pattern:</b></i></u> Draw a design on paper with a wax candle & apply water colour on it. The design drawn with the wax candle will remain uncoloured.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<u><i><b>Collage: </b></i></u>Painting in a collage like pattern.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />Hey I’m not doing any washing powder add. I’m talking about color stains on paper.<br />
<br />Stains can be used to make an abstract painting.<br />
<br />What you have to do is just make the paper clumsy by stains.<br />
<br />Don’t do this literally. Follow the instructions.<br />
<br />Instructions:-<br />
<br />1) Put color/ ink drops on the top border of the paper.<br /> Hold the paper in both your hands in a standing position & let the colors flow to bottom.<br />2) Sprinkle some color drops on paper<br />3) Put a big color drop on paper and blow it from the top of the drop. It will spread like a stain.<br />4) Dip the toothbrush in color and spray it on the paper by rubbing your thumb on the toothbrush<br />5) Use some imprint drawing tools like ladyfinger/ tree leaves to print its impressions on paper.<br />6) Use different colors and make an abstract beautiful.<br />
<br />Here I have made an abstract. Take a look.<br />
<br />

Sand can be a good medium of painting<br />Material required:-<br />Paper, glue, different colored sands, Varnish (Optional)<br />Take Rangoli Powder if you want to keep it simple but if you really want to make real & original sand paintings then go for manual collection of sand like<br />1) Black farm soil,<br />2) White Chinese/ multani soil/Chalk powder/ Gypsum Crush/ Plaster of Paris, <br />3) Red Brick powder, <br />4) Gray cement/ dust<br />5) Brown muddy soil<br />Instructions:-<br />1) Draw a picture on paper and keep it simple while doing it for the first time<br />2) Apply glue evenly on the part to be painted. Do it in part by part<br />3) Sprinkle the sand on glue and fill the glued part with the sand<br />4) After it gets dried, remove the excess sand on the paper by gently tapping the paper<br />5) Complete the painting part by part.<br />6) Spray mixture of 80% glue & 20% water on the picture to get the sand affixed with paper.<br />7) Allow some time to dry <br />8) Apply varnish if you think it fit.<br />Here’s my try of sand painting.<br />

I am passionate about making ambigrams from last 7 years, since I was
in school. So i'm feeling really pleased to present you with my
passion-art-project on AMBIGRAMS<br />
<br />
Ambigram is a form of
typography where you can read a same/ sometimes different word in two
dimensions, usually when rotated through 180*.<br />
Also known as:<br />
Vertical Palindromes (1965), <br />
Designatures (1979), <br />
Inversions (1980) <br />
This art is a blend of Typography, Symmetry & Optical illusions<br />
<br />
In
spite of visiting online ambigram generators on the net, I was not
satisfied because I failed to get all ambigram characters to allow us to
easily create words on our own. <br />
<br />
So I decided to make it on my own.<br />
<br />
Here I present the chart and the method to use it. <br />
<br />
DHAVAL’S AMBIGRAM FONT CHART<br />

All
the charectors in the above chart are designed by me & it took me
around a month & a lot of hardwork to complete with it.<br />
<br />
I
know it’s not as perfect as it should be, but you can help to develop
or replace the characters with better ones by mailing me your ideas on
dhavalsartblog@gmail.com<br />
<br />
*Create your own ambigram<br />
<br />
1) Write a word (DHAVAL)<br />
<br />
2) Write the same word in reverse order below the 1st word (LAVAHD) <br />
(You can also take the reverse of another word having same no. of alphabets)<br />
<br />
3) Make Pairs <br />
(D-L, H-A, A-V, V-A, A-H, L-D)<br />
<br />
4) Find the 1st part of the pair in the column & 2nd part in the row<br />
& note down the Character at the point of intersection (D-L) <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5) Do it with all pairs & note all the intersections in the order of pairs.<br />
<br />
6) Your ambigram is ready.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Warli Painting is a tribal painting art in India</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These
Paintings are done by Warlis; a tribe in India. These Paintings carry a
very basic graphic vocabulary: a circle, a triangle & a square.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Originally Warli paintings are the paintings made by warlis on the walls of their huts,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Using bamboo sticks as a brush,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Wet cow dung as the brown background color of the picture and</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thin rice paste as white color to draw the human, animal or other natural or manmade figures.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However
it’s now a globally popular art form from India and many people learn
these paintings on paper with normal paint brush & white & brown
color.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following are samples of warli paintings I have made.</div>

I have read this art form many years ago in a kid’s supplement of daily newspaper. <br />
<br />
It was named as Abhri Drawing in that article. I searched a lot on internet with this name but couldn’t get anything. <br />
<br />
So I don’t know the actual name of this art, but whatever it be, it is marvelous.<br />
<br />
After reading the article I immediately tried that and it was a success.<br />
<br />
Here are some Abhri patterns that I have made 4 to 5 years ago.<br />

<br />
Don’t worry I will explain the process of doing this written in the center of this image in Marathi.<br />
<br />
1) Take a flat widespread vessel or a tray filled with water.<br />
<br />
2) add some water soluble glue in it [if you have it] or leave this step<br />
<br />
3) Sprinkle few drops of oil paint or oil based watercolor in water and let the drops float on <br />
The surface of water. Don’t steer the colors into the water]<br />
<br />
4) Colors will float on water due to oil content<br />
<br />
5) In a few seconds, a design like above will be created on the water surface<br />
<br />
6) Gently put the paper on water surface [put the drawing side of the page on water] <br />
And let it be like that for 1-2 minutes<br />
<br />
7) Hold two opposite corners of the paper and carefully lift the paper and let it dry completely.<br />
<br />
8) Finally you will get a wonderful texture on water imprinted on your paper<br />
<br />
9) Use this paper as a base for greeting, origami or for further drawing & gift it to your closer one.</div>

Imprint Drawing is one of the best topics of my interest. It
comprises of painting with the impressions of different objects such as
onion, ladyfinger, tree leaves, textured cloths like sac/ net etc.<br />
<br />
What
you have to do is just take an object with which you want to paint, cut
it if it’s needful, apply paint to that object and stamp it on the
paper. That’s it!!!<br />
<br />
You can make Paintings/ Greetings using this Technique or you can also make a texture by repetitive stamping<br />
<br />
Following are some examples of imprints that I have tried with different objects.<br />

Almost everybody reading this article will be aware of this art as we all have experienced Origami from our playschool and nursery days.<br />
<br />
Origami is an art of making articles just by folding, cutting, twisting Paper and it has its roots in Japanese culture.<br />
<br />
We can use a newspaper, Xerox paper, marble paper, or tinted marble paper for origami art.<br />
<br />
There’s nothing quite like the joy you get from transforming a plain square piece of paper into a container, animal, flower etc.<br />
<br />
Origami is fun, easy, inexpensive and great to deal with.<br />
<br />
Following are the photos of origami articles that I made in 1 day especially for the readers of this blog.<br />

<b><i><u>How many of you have experienced your childhood hours spent with your spirograph set?</u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><br /></u></i></b>
Spirgraph is a trademark of a 1960’s plastic toy which is used to draw intricate curved patterns<br />
(hypotrochoids and epitrochoids) using interlocking plastic wheels and toothed rings of different sizes.<br />
<br />
We literally can make countless amazing circular patterns by using this toy.<br />
<br />
And believe me, it’s not just a kiddy stuff. Even young & old people also love to spend their time with<br />
spirograph. Some people are just mad for this (including me!!!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uToXtgn8qig/VlJ9Xx-027I/AAAAAAAAAHE/h6AnLGE4g0o/s1600/Spirograph%2BPatterns.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="131" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uToXtgn8qig/VlJ9Xx-027I/AAAAAAAAAHE/h6AnLGE4g0o/s400/Spirograph%2BPatterns.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
These are some patterns I have made with my old spirograph set bought before 5 years from a local<br />
‘Gadda Jatra Fair’ just for Rs.10/- containing only 2 rings & 5 wheels<br />
<br />
Take a look at the Spirograph Collage I have made using the same Spirograph set.<br />
<br />

For making this collage, I used a local spirograph set containing only 2 rings [144/96 & 150/105] & 5 wheels [Wheel No. 45, 50, 52, 72 & 80]<br />
<br />
I used normal writing colour ball pens (8 shades)<br />
<br />
After cutting I glued all the patterns on a reflective surface.<br />
<br />
It took me around a week to complete with it on 2-3 hours a day basis.<br />
<br />
The Spirograph sets are very common and you can get them from e-business sites like Amazon.com etc.<br />

<b><i><u>OTHER RELATED DRAWING MACHINES</u></i></b><br />

Have you ever even thought about using nice, warm, aromatic coffee in your mug to paint a picture?<br />
<br />
Coffee painting can make that no other medium can.<br />
<br />
The texture of coffee is a challenge. It has more elastic properties than a normal paint. It is stickier when you apply it with brush.<br />
<br />
Lets make it together.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i><u><br /></u></i>
<i><u><br /></u></i>
<i><u><br /></u></i>
<i><u><br /></u></i>
<i><u><br /></u></i><br />
<i><u><br /></u></i>
<i><u><br /></u></i>
<i><u><br /></u></i>
<i><u>Materials Required:-</u></i><br />
<br />
Instant Coffee Powder<br />
Paper<br />
3D Gold Liner (Optional)<br />
Brush<br />
Plain Varnish (Optional)<br />
<br />
<i><u>How to do it ?</u></i><br />
<br />
1) Draw a Picture or a design on paper and outline it with 3D Gold liner<br />
<br />
2) Mix Coffee Powder in water in different quantities to get different shades of colors<br />
(Pale yellow to brown)<br />
<br />
3) Color the picture in different shades made with coffee.<br />
<br />
4) Once the whole painting dried give on it a plain varnish coating to protect your painting from the dust.<br />
<br />
5) That's it, you are ready with a pleasing coffee painting.<br />
<br />
Try these & other mediums too & mail me your thoughts about using different mediums for painting.<br />
<br />
Let the aroma fill your painting too.</div>
