About Black and white Kolam : PRINT

Just wanted to have contrast colors, so used black thil (sesame seeds) for the outline.
The dot count is 6 dots 2 lines , 2 dots on both sides (straight dots), repeat this on all four sides.

Dotted Kolams
Dot style of the first kolam - Put dot 5 for two lines. Then 3 dots, and one dot above and below. Dot style of the second kolam - 5 to 5. Third kolam is Krishnar Chadhankai. It should be put on Krishna Jayanthi day. Dots for the fourth and fifth kolams are 5 to 5. Name of the sixth kolam is Hrudhaya Kamalam. It is very auspicious kolam. It is a belief that if you draw it daily for Goddess Lakshmi and pray, you will get success in your life. The last one is border kolam.

Using sesame seeds to add contrast, what a neat idea! I know people use rice powder in kolams for feeding ants and such, but at a glance this image looked as if there was a mad rush of ants, reminded me of ration stores in India Smile

Rajamma m'aam, your grandaughter is so lucky to learn from you! It must have taken you a long time to align the sesame seeds so perfectly! Biggrin
