About Octopus : PRINT
Hi All, This is the Octopus kolam for our Cruise theme. Again I'm so so happy today as this kolam is also out of my own imagination. Whether it is looking good or not, I'm so happy that I was able to design a sea creature in kolam pattern. I used the dots as 6-2-2. Please let me know your views.

Maha, may be our thinking wave length is same. I had a plan to do the octopus on sunday and upload. But due to some unexpected schedule I couldn't do. Thanks for bringing my imagination true.

Wow Maha dear, see this is what i was talking about, ur stealing all my designs and claiming it to be ur own. Too bad too bad. So nicely imagined and brought out in a dotted pattern. Too good Maha dear. Pls dear do upload the jellyfish too.

Thanks a lot Dr Rekha, Julien and Pushpa. No dear, I'm sorry, I can't upload it. It looks like a very shabby work as compared to your beautiful jelly fish kolam. I decided not to upload it.

Octopus, like animals and human beings, have bilateral or left-right symmetry. This has been brought out well in your drawing. In fact, many octopus cartoons do look like this. Nice work.

This guy is so amusing that I had to look at him atleast twice a day since he got uploaded here :0
I want to share a funny experience with you Maha. After the first day I saw this kolam, I started seeing this cute fellow in my dream in my sleep, only thing is - it got a wee bit scary for me since I dreamt this guy crawling up on my bed and running on top me ME!! :0
You won't believe it, but in the end of my dream, it was more of a mash up in my mind which started to look like this:

I still laugh at myself for dreaming about this cute fellow.
Also wanted to mention that the dot count must be 6-4-2, as seen in your design, so I'll correct the typo in the description later on.

Ha ha ha, Lata, really funny to hear this and also happy to know that you registered this submission so deeply in your heart, that it could come in your dreams too. Ha ha ha.
Lata, I'm sorry for misguiding with the dot count. but this is the way I used to write the dots counts - 6-2-2 means 6 dots 2 rows until 2 dots in the bottom. This is what in my mind.
You please go ahead and change the dot counts in the description.
