Point to the warli art	Our warli pattern is now ready. We can use this pattern as border in various textile design assignments.
Point to warli art on a kurti	This is how it looks on a kurti.
Point to warli art on a pillow cover	We can use this as a pillow cover design, also.
Point to warli art on a cloth bag.	And this warli art looks great on a cloth bag, too.
Point to the warli art	So, in a similar way, you can create various textile patterns using the warli art form.
