Homogeneous ¯q-blossom is introduced by altering the diagonal property of classical homogeneous blossom. We apply this new blossom to define two parameter family of Bernstein basis functions and Bézier curves. A special case of homogeneous ¯q-blossom gives infinitely many de Casteljau type algorithms for classical Bézier curves. An analogue of Marsden’s identity is also derived by applying homogeneous ¯q-blossom. Properties and identities of new Bernstein basis functions and Bézier curves including affine invariance, linear precision and end point interpolation derived. De Casteljau type evaluation algorithm is used to develop a subdivision procedure for (q1, q2)-Bézier curves. Finally, it is shown that the control polygons generated by recursive midpoint subdivision converge uniformly to the original (q1, q2)-Bézier curve.
