About Inspired Chikku kolam : PRINT

This dotted kolam was an inspiration from Mrs.Mangala. http://www.ikolam.com/node/11598

The top one is without the extensions, and the other one with extensions. The idea of using red/yellow colored-dots comes from Mrs.Rajam. I learned that if I continue using my coffee table to make such kolams, I better stick with smaller designs than this one, as I barely could fit it within the breadth of the table. Smile Suggestions to improve are welcome.

I wish u had a bigger coffee table. Second one with Manjal Kungumam looks very auspicious.

very nice lataji....
hmm may be try using the paint brush instead of the fingers to draw using maavu, that will make thinner lines and give you more space to write big kolams on the coffee table Smile ....me too thinking on the same lines, but my mom was telling maavu might not stick well to the brush, may be add some maida flour, so will try sometime.

Lata both look pretty but definitely the second one looks the best with the haldi and kumkum and the extensions

Lata both are good and second lookks more prettier with additional coloured dots and extensions. Haldi - Kumkum dots nice idea.

Lata, both Your wet maavu kolams on the cofee color coffee table are super. Its fun drawing with fingers only. If u use the ring finger then the ezhai will come thinner. Thanks for popularizing manjal-kunkumum dots.

Good attempt Lata! Chikku kolam season started in ikolam? Anirudh, using brush is not a wise choice for wet rice flour kolam. Using fingers alone we can draw fast and continuously! Adding little maida helps the flour to stick better to the floor. That's all!
