Vasanthi cute vilakku kolam dear... Try making the batter more thin, it is slightly thick. It should flow freely. Keep drawing few lines again and again till u r comfortably able to make lines. As i told u, it should be like thick milk. I am happy ur trying out maakolams dear. Here is the link to my first attempt at maakolam, (http://www.ikolam.com/node/7056?p=3147) god it was such a disaster but with positive comments and encouragement from Ikolam members i was able to do maakolams with ease now. Here u will find few more tips from Rajamma maam and other members. Hope this helps u dear.
thank you pushpa...i referred rajammaji's tips also. thank you so much pa. thank you suguna mam, rani mam, (yes mam, i used red and yellow for the flames only but it looks very dull, thank you for your tips mam), thank you vinci mam, anisha mam and sowmya mam.

Pretty kolam, Vasanthi. The very small dots around the flames look cute. Were they also done with wet maavu?
