Lata I was trying to look for something in one of the drawers of a table today and came across this stencil I bought few years ago (but did not find a chance to use before it got lost among other papers).. I bought 4 such stencils - it is a plastic sheet with pin holes forming the design. The Ganesha is one stencil and the two peacocks facing each other is another stencil. I combined it in such a way that the two peacocks were on either side of Ganesha and was pretty much happy with the outcome... Hope you all like it too
This is the kolam I put yesterday outside my house (another of my favourites). Sorry friends please excuse the angle which looks a bit odd as the top of the kolam seems a little out of shape..
Dots centre 7 - 7 (straight dots)
Then right around the four corners 6 - 1 (atraight dots).
Another combination of four of my kolams..
Butterfly kolam - straight dots 12 (2 lines) ends with 2
Peacock kolam - straight dots 7 (2 lines) ends with 1
Chikku Kolams - interlaced dots 7 to 4 and 9 to 5
After seeing the comments for my dosai kolam I decided to try one of the suggestions and here is the outcome... Hope you like it friends...
Ingredients - Salt, Chillie Powder, Dhanya Powder, Saffron Powder and Tea dust (the centre flower)...
Two of my recent attempts being uploaded here...
Chikku kolam - dots 9 - 1
Poo kolam - dots 11 - 1
Which one do you like???
Yet another set of kolams drawn by me recently... Couple of them I have added dots on the computer for ease of reference... Hope you like them..
