Brindha, I missed "talking" to you yesterday, the kolam looks beautiful (as usual), you've a nice shadowy effect of your letters (due to the blue color).

Hi Lata, Since I was busy with my daughter's departure to US, I was not able to log in for a few days.

That is a very neat finish. Could anyone of you pls tell me how to get that dark finish while using color powder. Because I use it after mixing with that rough kolam powder, and it turns dull when i do that. Some mix sand I heard, but I dont think I can get sand everytime. So pls help me with your suggestions I am very passionate about this art, with my late grandma's encouragement. I want to develop this skill of mine more n more. So pls help me on my doubt.

Thank u,

Very glad to meet people of similar interests. I wish you a nice time with this art. If you are mixing colour powder with Kola powder, simply add more colour powder while mixing, sprinkle a few drops of water and dry the powder in the shade. No need to add sand. You can use even food colour.
All the best in your endevour.
