yes vinci maam , the innder circle is stencil, thanks for your comments. by the way maam, where are you staying,?, what is your full name ?
Are you from bangalore ? ooooooooof tooo many questions, reply at your convenience.
chennagide Sudhaavre...good colors...the stars kind of desing makes the feel of madhubani art ...may be some designs on green like the sanskar bharathi form would have enhanced more, mainly becos of more space available there.
good one, best wishes.
as you said i tried with the sanskar bharathi design for the empty space. but some how the design was messed with too many designs. any ways thanks for your good comments and comparison
please check mail and also under the heading bangalore meet blog posts on the main page of ikolam thanks a lot for your comments. the meet will be held on 17th or 18th of april 2010 please let me know.
First look - Enticing,
Creativity - traditional,

Symmetry - well maintained.
Overall - Excellent.

Sudha, the maroon colored elements surrounding the green circle remind me of Russian Babushka dolls! And you've interesting black bugs scurring around the maroon stars. Pretty paisleys comfortably sitting around the inner design, and the tiny white flower at the center of it all, looks so perfect - almost "machine made"! Very lovely entry Sudha! All the best. :)
thanks a ton lata, the comments really boosts us to put more kolams which pleases everyone no matter the efforts we take, vanishes by the comments posted. I am really enjoying it.
Sudha when you say 'my first competition kolam' it brings fond memories for me as my very first submission to ikolam started with last year's Marghazhi competition (though I was a member much earlier I never actively participated in the site until last year) - so it is just one year since I related with my ikolam friends and I am happy I did.
I can see you have spent a lot of time to perfect this rangoli as it is really good - the colour combination is nice and I agree with Anirudh on the madhubani stuff but it also looks like warli art to me.. If you had bordered every section with a contrast colour this rangoli would have looked really excellent - and yes the green portion does look a bit empty - on the whole a very well made rangoli - all the best :)
judy, hi, thanks for your lovely comments, after posting this kolam for the contest, i tried with sanskar bharathi design in the empty space but some how i was not convinced with the design i thought it would have spoilt the look of the kolam
