Thanks for sharing, uploading a Superfast kolam and thanks to Lata..
Lovely design Rani Maam.. The centre and the checks in the border looks nice.. Kaavi only for Special Ocassion other than Tuesday and Friday!!! I feel the cylinders are little distracting, not merging with the centre design, Just my opinion.. And the picture resolution doesn't allow to enjoy.

thanks vinci...every word what u said about d pic was perfect vinci....it took almost half-an hour on my editing table ...imagine...to resize, to brighten d image, to sharpen it ...as i did this in my drawing hall...d upper part which was close to d window appeared dark and i couldn't do anything to brighten that portion only ...so d pic resolution was this way...actually i wanted to do this again in d outdoors...but due to heavy rain here yesterday....i couldn't do it....

Beautiful design you've chosen to make, Rani. Nice fusion of alpana and onam.
But, what was the need of brightening and sharpening? A little bit of darkness here and there is sometimes unavoidable and understandable. Isn't it?
What ever happened to giving us a taste of your art just plain and as it is, Rani? I am starting to miss it
I went back to the following image to get a taste of your old style (simple, pure and unadulterated)

My thinking is that you should venture into all types of kolams Rani, PC, floor, using all mediums. Go ahead and play with all sorts of borders/effects and what not. But, do treat us to your old style "pure" kolams too.

Could you please upload the original image? I am eagerly looking forward to see this design in its original form (without any photo effects). Take your time. Give me the brownish aval that you have in your hands, the same aval that you only get in villages nowadays.
(aval=beaten rice, also known as poha)

Nice RAni. But something is missing compared to your usual visual treats which were outstanding. OK we wait for the other version.

Beautifully made alpona+poo kolam, Rani. You could have left it as it is with out sharpening and brightening it. this is very similar to Lakshmi Jayaraman's Alpona design except one or two differences. You have done full justice to the original.

Rani. when you try a different style these small mistakes happen. But it is nice to take a challenging job and achieve it also. Play attention in editing the photo.

Pretty experiment Rani - has come out quite good. I suggest you first draw the basic design with chalk on the floor to get the symmetry correct as you can make corrections while drawing with chalk and then top it up with the final medium, this way you will get it more perfect - but you definitely need a pat on your back for giving us something new from you
