Rangoli: Spring Garden Kolams - Daffodils
Created by judelined on 2010-05-04,

Dots - Interlaced 15 - 8

I have been trying to complete this kolam for the last two weeks but something or the other came in the way and only today I managed to complete it. Though I am not fully satisfied with the outcome I am going ahead and uploading it because I am sure it will take much longer if I keep it and try to get a fully satisfied product. Let me know what you think friends Smile

When I see this kolam I am reminded of the beautiful poem I learnt in school written by William Wordsworth

"Daffodils" (1804)

I wander'd lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky Way,

They stretch'd in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:

I gazed -- and gazed -- but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

By William Wordsworth (1770-1850).

Rangoli: The BengaLuru meet - banner
Created by anirudh on 2010-04-19,

Here is banner done for the event. The center design separate rabbits rangoli playing the welcome music (inspired by one drum beating rabbits) and the border inspired by the Ministers of Darbar rangoli (base 12X7 straingt) in my collection. After designing this i saw similar clown pyramid by Vani Muthukrishnan's blog too and Pavan also used it. Very nice co-incidence we all think similar Smile ...wondering what do with leftover dots, so fusioned the sikku kolams there, first time did some trails on sikku kolams to get it perfect and match the dots.......minutes of the meeting on the way....until enjoy this

Dot counts:
Center - 15 X 8 - middle
Border - welcome couple (base 12 X 7 - straight) - 5 times to fill the whole line
Side border - Clowns - (base 7 X 6 - straight) - 6 times to fill the whole side.
Will add more borders i tried out for before selecting one.

http://ikolam.com/node/11069?p=5850 - This kolam of Lata's inspired me to experiment in my own way on photoshop and her is what I have finally arrived at. Let's see how many changes you can spot between the two kolams. Same dots (intermediate 15-8), only slightly different design. I am really in the party mood for sure Blum 3
