Ayyo....pongappa...my fingers started aching pressing d cloth to squeeze d paste....even after d first stroke itself...was thinking...che d kolam would've been finished within mins if i had done with normal kolam pdr.... :p :bigsmile: but till i receive my gunny bag of kolam pdr...am thinking to continue maakolams.... :)
Soak and grind raw rice only lata :) i was holding my left-over rice paste on one hand and blinking what to do :p when i suddenly checked my mobile...saw ur comment and put down d container and came running to switch-on d comp... :D :bigsmile:
Hmmm....every 15 mins i'll be checking normally...but when interesting topics like contest kolams,peacock fashion show or garden rangolis etc r published it will get shortened J) :bigsmile:
Mohanaji, I think you might be under the impression that most people make the maa kolam by mixing rice flour in water (at least that's how I've noticed you make reference in my champagne rangoli. :bigsmile: ) But, I think most people will soak the rice and grind for their maa kolams. I do the same here. And, I save the left-over paste in the fridge to re-use for the next day as well. :)
What a coincidence, Rani. I too have made a kolam with rice paste today. But, I ran out of the preferred colors of sand. To top my problems, the local craft store is not stocking up. Although I bought some holi powders from my local indian store, I am yet to plan my mixing session in my left over half a kg of rangoli powder I got from India last time. :bigsmile:
I like the design and the bright colors you've used in this kolam. Nice of you to share your experience with ants! :love:
Yes long time. I admired all the new rangolis, though am yet to comment.
Btw, when are you uploading your door rangoli? I made a small one yesterday. I'm waiting for you. :)
Oh yes...was waiting to hear from u....thats why made d rice paste yesterday...shall do a small kolam on my kitchen door today and upload by tomorrow....hope its ok for u....ayyo it will be more fun if more friends join on this door-kirukkals :p ;) :bigsmile:
