Single stroke kolam

About Single stroke kolam : 
Inspired by Mrs.Rajam. Dot count: 15, 13 (2lines), 9 (2 lines), 5 (2 lines) and ending in 1 dot on all sides. I had made a colored version of the same last year and published it here. But, I had to unpublish it after an hour or so, since I didn't realize that I had published the same dotted kolam done by another member. But, this version is an animated one, as promised to Mrs.Rajam. Let me know what you think of it. 
Here is the original version: http://ikolam.com/node/3382

Lata, thanks for remembering and doing the animation of this lovely dotted kolam. It looks as though a kutti snake is sliding in between the dots.It is easy to try this now.I did coloring each side only for others to see how this ezhai kolam is simple to draw not complicated as we think.

Lovely Lata - another think I want to learn soon is animating my rangoli (hope Anita can find the time to teach me hmmmm).. Actually I had drawn this very same kolam on photoshop in April 2009 itself, but for some reason did not upload it then. Will upload it now though

a very nice sikku kolam. I am not good at drawing kolams with rice powder or kolam powder. But will definitely try this one with wet rice flour.

Hi Lata, ur animated kolams are eye-openers. Chiku kolams had always been a mystery for me. They are like puzzles, and ur animations are like cheat sheets to solve them. Rajamma, Judy, Pushpa and Lata, u r drawing me more and more towards chiku kolams. Thanks to all of u.

Thank you so much for the beautiful kolam tutorials! I learned a bit about kolams when I lived in மதுரை and decided I wanted to try my hand at it again -- your animations (and also the fact that I'm drawing with chalk and not rice powder) make it very enjoyable
