About Girls ... Let's Party! Rangoli : PRINT
This is one of my favorite dotted rangoli with girls/women in it. One could look at it as a design that shows girls playing, or girls jumproping/skipping too. I didn't want the girls wearing uniforms, and so have opted for colorful outfits, a different color for each one of them. I had labeled this rangoli for Holi, but since we have the ikolam Bangalore meet and the Chennai meet coming along soon, the word "Party!" kept zooming into focus in my head. I'm so excited for our members! 
Made using Photoshop. It is a Dotted Rangoli. Dot count; 15-8, interlaced. The dots are deliberately bigger, for clarity's sake. Let me know what you think of it.

I want a meet in San Jose too! Please ladies, visit me too
How come most of our California members are so quiet, all the time. Let me take a look at our databases, and post a big post about people count in different cities, and such.

The girls are really in the partying mood Lata. They look very happy and colourful. The shades of the dress and the flowers are very nice.

Nice work. But another perspective. They look like pens and nibs trying to write on a piece of brown paper!

Sumathi, I hear that the photoshop guru is going to be giving a demo in the Chennai meet. Btw, didn't you say you had a cousin living in Sunnyvale? Does she visit ikolam to enjoy your work? If so, please let her know that there are atleast a few people who are interested in a meet in San Jose in April.
Thank you Preeti, Priya, lakshmi2000, sudha and Ms.Sreegiri.
If I had been able to sponsor 10, 50... people, don't you think I would've already bought a house in Chennai by now, Lakshmi? I wouldn't have had to depend on Hotel Residency. But, at the same time, I do picture all of you in my home, wishful thinking? No harm in dreaming
I'm glad to note that Jayaji and Kamini are going to be coming here, for the meet, greet and eat
Brindha, you mean you still haven't applied for it yet? I mean, I wouldn't delay the process if I were you, especially with both kids in the US. I'm sure you will visit us in California one of these years.
Judy and Bharathi, glad you are coming too. Bharathi, yes I would need your help. You are required to bring a mehandi designer. I believe you do know somebody special for this work.
Pushpa (I'm taking the liberty to drop the ji, please please do the same for me, as per my request to you some time ago ), there are only 6 girls in the kolam. And, as you might have noticed, the design in already gone to the back pages. But, you, on the other hand, are a constant in our minds. Enjoy the real party in your hometown with more than 6 girls.
Mohanaji, pens and nibs is an interesting perspective, thanks for mentioning something not all minds may see.
Anybody planning/doing something special for March 8th?
