Rangoli: Pallapazham - Jack Fruit
Created by Sumathi.v on 2009-07-18,

This is a picture of jackfruit tree in our garden at Chennai which yielded tasty fruits for the first time after planting it a decade back. The fruit takes 4 months to ripen fully and once ripe automatically comes off the branch.

Rangoli: Embroidery

This was my first embroidery on my own, when I was 17. Had it all along as a keepsake. The upper design is around the neck and the design below was done on the sleeves of my blouse.

Rangoli: Chalk Kolam in Singapore!
Created by gowri_ana on 2009-04-11,

I have a feeling that without sanghu and chakaram, i cant make a kolam !!! Smile

This middle lamp kollam is just 5X5, The first kolam my mother taught me when i was 6 years old for my school project, with days and years it has evolved with imagination.

This kollam dedicated to my mom amma, who makes simple and small designs but elegant as her.

She would be surprised when she visits this website entirely dedicated to kolam lovers and women who create magic on doorsteps.

Thanks you all for such wonderful designs.

P.S - My future mother-in-law is also a kolam expert ( heard that she is called by her neighbours as Kola mammi), by this year when i will get married will get more snaps of her designs. This one is also my fiances fav.

Love,
Gowri Manohari Narayanan.

This is my first Virtual Rangoli which I am posting for this site. I want the experts to comment and help me to improve further

Rangoli: My first color drawing on Computer
Created by Lata on 2009-03-16,

My first color drawing on the computer in 1992.
It took some time to draw a girl dancing, but once one image was ready, it was easy to just flip the second copy.

Rangoli: My first Mandala on Computer
Created by Lata on 2009-03-16,

Here is my first drawing of a Mandala using a software package in one of my Graphic design courses back in 1992 (California).

Rangoli: My first drawing on MS Paint
Created by judelined on 2009-03-16,

The day I got a new colour monitor (1999) I was tempted to draw and colour something so I used MS Paint and drew this cartoon of Mr & Mrs Mouse having dinner at a restaurant... I was so happy with the outcome and I'm glad that i was able to copy and preserve it... now I can share it with my ikolam friends too....

Again thanks to Lata for this wonderful website....
