Margazhi dew drops Kolam contest - 2008-2009

The number of dots : 14-14 straight dots, Dot style: Connecting the dots

The name I give for this kolam of mine is "The lovely twins" or the "The twin lovers"

I drew this on our garden sand, since I wanted to try a different background other than the usual tiles or cement flooring. It took 2 hours for me to draw this kolam fully. I used the rice flour more with a slight mix of the rough kolam flour. I realised that I haven't bought different color powders, only after finishing the initial outline. I was down for a few moments that I won't be able to bring out a colorful effect. Anyhow I managed to make it look contrasting with the available colors and everyone liked it. I also used turmeric powder at the center for a different yellow. Maybe you too can try it at home.

So I decided to submit my entry for this contest.
