Thank you very much for all your appreciative comments. It does a great deal to encourage us to do more such work.
But I really do not know if I can make such a huge piece again, as I have had knee replacement operation done recently and am not supposed to squat on the floor. I am hoping that I shall be able to develop a way to do these once again.I do not use any brush . The knack to get a thin fluid line using rice paste, is to use just a small wad of cotton and not any cloth as many people use.Please do pray that I shall be able to do these kolams once again, as I really love doing free hand alpanas.
Excellent work, a feast for the eyes. Just as others have mentioned, it's a marvel such a huge kolam has been drawn without spilling a drop of the paste!
