About Cala lily : PRINT

Cala lily stands for splendid beauty. This is indeed very beautiful.
Looking at it, one is reminded of a hooded snake.

Enjoy! Regards - mOhana

Nice design mOhanaji, I have Plumeria flower earrings (from Hawaii) that looks exactly like the design on the right (same off-white color with a tinge of light yellow at the center).
I failed miserably in growing yellow Cala lilies in my frontyard.

Such a simple flower when joined together giving way to form a beautiful design!
The inner star shaped black space is creating a magic with a streak of thin white lines.
mOhanaji, I am tempted to try/copy this with kolam podi.

About the design on the right side, the inner black design looks like this dotted kolam with 5,4 and 3 dots, but in a "reflected" style:

It is interesting to note that the white petals are pointing out in a clockwise direction, whereas the inner shiny white strokes run in an anticlockwise direction.

Thanks everybody for the kind words. One note about how I did these patterns.
It is always preferable to do patterns with motifs in white background. As you see,
the motif here has a dark background. So I did all my patterns with the negative
(it has a white background) and finally converted them to a dark background by taking
their negative I am flattered rAjammAjI, please go ahead and make a rangOli.
Your animation is indeed pretty to watch, latAjI.
