About a new flower kolam inspired piece of art : PRINT
I'd like to share with you a new piece of art inspired to kolam - it is in fact kolam inspired, rather than mandala. I like to discover the harmonical way the spiral meet each other...
Enjoy!

The artwork looks gorgeous, Adelec! I enjoyed the first one as well. Just curious, how did you make it. How are these pretty swirls that we see in the design made? I mean, what medium do you use?

Hi everybody and thank your for your comments.
then I put a border using a pc software 
It's all handmade
First of all, I used a goniometer to mark the points for the petals. Then colored the petals with water-feltpen (Stabilo water feltpens - they have wonderful gradations!) and used a small brush to water them. Then, with a golden gel-pen, drew the small swirls of the petals and after this I marked the borders with a black gelpen. At the end, I shadowed all the petals with a pencil.
I'm fascinated by the spirals and the way they are constructed. I saw them in kolams as well, done without goniometer, and I'm experimenting with them.
I'm happy to share points of views with you, so keep on comment!
