Designer kolam

About Designer kolam : PRINT
When I was searching some old files I found a paper with this design drawn in pencil by me. Immediately I draw this kolam on the floor and colored it. The yellow portion is looking like the base for the kolam but in the paper that portion was the main design. So anybody willing to draw this in a different way?

Rajam mami, (as pushpa and Rani started calling u as mami, i too thought of calling like that), this is a novel design. Beautifully coloured and neat presentation from you.

Maha, just so you know, "Mami" is not how she likes to be called (based on her comments from a couple of years back).
(And, she doesn't want me to address her as "madam". Since she wanted me to call her by her first name, I call her Rajam, just the way she prefers).

Design looks unique and fresh. Blue and yellow is one of your favorite combo, I know.
This designer beauty is a dotted one or a freehand?

Oh, thanks Lata for the info. Sorry Rajam mam for calling you as mami but I prefer to address you as mam because i feel somewhat guilty to call you with name. Hope u don't mind.

I know what you mean Maha. I too went through a guilt-phase for sometime, but eventually started pretending as if it doesn't bother me. :0

Iam happy to learn that you all see deep into all the kolams and their designs. Yes Rani, I too realized that the yellow colour has supressed the star design..If that was done with dark color this design may look different and more beautiful. How about you trying this? The dot count is 21-1 straight dots.( sorry, forgot to mention it while uploading.) To get this design I have connected the lines in between dots also at some places.
Maha, yes, as Lata said I liked to be called by my name or by the way my grand children call me.. Paaatti.( when I got married and went to sasural, my husband being the only mama to 13 of his neice and nephews of my age , they all started calling me 'Maamee" which I wanted to change now atleast in our circle)

Beautiful kolam. Nice colouring and instead of yellow colour for the star design, you could have substituted it with maroon. Still looks awesome.

OH God how do i address u, u dont like being called mami, and i dont like calling u patti cos u still look so energetic and young to me and of course i am too old to call u patti.... hmm ok I will say Rajamma dear then....

Very innovative thought process rajamma....Pera solliye koopidaren. I see the big discussion on how to address you.
I will call you Rajamma only. My MIL's mothers name is also rajamma and I address her the same way.
BTW, Very good creativity. Romba Azhaga irukku. I definitely couldnt make out the star design of the kolam.
You have treated us with a new invention! Lots to learn from you.

Thank you all for appreciating with nice comments.
I have uploaded my paper drawing in the cafe section with the clue how to draw this 21-1 straight dotted kolam.I'll be too happy if anyone of you can give a better decoration for this.
