Speechless.. You always come up with master piece.. Fantastic Work..
You have made everyone to guess the material used.. Crayons, Cross stitch on cloth, Kumizh kolam with podi.. My guess goes to cross stitch on matticloth as I see blue color as the base.. Still confused with the caption below.. romba aaraichi panniviten..kandu pidika thaan mudiyalai...
Comment oru varila solittu, kelvi mattum naalu varila ketikiren.. he heee..

I think Brindha wanted to achieve the kumizh kolam look. She had used the cross-stitch cloth, used her regular rangoli powder, maybe the crayons for the outlines. She has done it on the same table she had used for the contest-mat rangoli. This is my final guess. Caption is for the International women's day.

Understood the caption Cause, . Podi has been used for Caption which differs from the main work....so little confused...

Hi everyone
Mom here has not used cross-stitch cloth, but she did intend to make it look like a cross-stitch design. She's used only kola-podi and quite a lot of work to get this done. 
Thanks to dad too.

Sob sob - we dont have Brindha for the Chennai meet to demonstrate how she created this masterpiece kumzhil kolam
sob sob..
Brindha I am still trying to recover from a shock wave. I just cant believe what I am seeing. This modern art lady is fantastic. The way you have shaded ever part of this rangoli is terrific and cannot be described by words. I have goosebumps looking at it. For the last 15 minites I am looking at every part of this wonderful creation and thinking of how much effort Brinda and Co have put into this (hats off to Mr Nageshwaran for helping you create this lovely piece of art). How much you must love this art to give us this wonder. (PS: if you had put some mallipoo in her hair it would have been awesome - I think I am asking for too much) - just cant stop typing here, it is going on and on and on.............. CHELLAM - I LOVE YOU DA (Prakash Raj's voice)(hehe)

One of the finest pieces of art my eyes have viewed recently! This also demonstrates that
the woman has a longing to create, the woman has an eye for beauty, the woman is thoughtful, the woman is patient and there are no heights or depths which the woman can not reach.
Congratulations for a masterpiece!

Brindha mam, one final guess. Did u use any kind of a mesh... colored with kola podi on top of the mesh and atlast removed the mesh to give this cross stitch effect? Please tell us. Poor me, i won't be able to sleep tonight...

Thanks everyone for such complimentary comments. All my tiredness went away by seeing all your words. There is no secret in this. I wanted to make a Kumizh kolam since when i saw one in ikolam some 6 or 7 months back. But i don't have any instrument or any idea of making such type of kolam. Again i was tempted by one of our friends recently. So i decided to make one in my own way and present something different for the Women's Day. Of course, it took me lot of time and i couldn't upload it on time. When i was looking for a design to make for Women's Day, my daughter showed me this picture made by cross-stich and there was no pattern given for that. So i prepared the pattern in a graph sheet by seeing the picture and counting the crosses. Then i drew squares on top of the Diwan (100 x 72 squares of 1 cm each) and made the design with normal kolapodi by filling each square one by one with hand. (If members want i will upload the grid photograph where i started from). It was a difficult job than what i expected. It took me two days to finish it (of course, in the middle of my household works and could not comment on any kolam for the last 4 days) may be nearly 10 to 12 hours. It would not have been possible for me without the encouragement of my husband, MIL and FIL. My husband helped me in making the squares and some tips in colouring also. He is the moral boost for me. So i must thank all of them for improving my talent to this extent.
Please somebody reveal the secret of Kumizh kolam. IS there any instrument for that?
Mohana Sir, Thank you. My efforts are rewarded by your words.

Brindha, Hats off to you. wonderful work done. So ur shifting to calcutta is bringing out all ur hidden talents.The team work here is excellent. Lata, after the 'guess who did this" I think now onwards we can play this'Guess how I did this" For me it looks Brindha had used some Anchor stiching drawing as base for this and also feel some kind of mesh used for the base. How long Brindha is going to make us wait?

Brindha, I just typed my comment , some visitor came attended them and posted the comment after that without seeing ur comment. Thanks for the information. Infact my embroidery kolam on the backside of agranite slab with small square also was done like that. But since the gapes were more I could not get the desired effect. So one more time a good applause for you'OOh' Podunga ellaarum!
