Dots : 25 (5 lines) ends with 5...

This cute Ganesha can don your pooja room on any festive occassion I am sure... the Ganesha was the basic kolam which I had copied from a book years ago... I developed the mandap and the offerings myself later on.... I had actually made it in black and white which I loved and wanted to upload as it is - because I too believe that black and white is always best looking.... but Anita tempted me to colour it and this is the outcome.... more Ganeshas to follow soon.

Happy Ugadi!

rangOli with strings

Created by jkmrao on 2009-03-25,

I have created two ordinary well-known rangOlis with strings.

Why with strings? The lines have no thickness. Therefore if one draws rangOlis
with lines, then the third dimension is lacking. So mirror reflections are quite
common. But since strings have thickness, these types of symmetries are eliminated.
We get only pure rotational symmetries in the rangOlis. In each of the given rangOlis,
there are two strings that interweave. One can see these alternately going up
and down. Since I used nylon material, the strings are taut and I have to use
cellophane tape so that the strings follow the pattern drawn on paper.

Please feel free to comment. Regards! - mOhana

Woollen Rangoli

Created by r.suganthy on 2009-03-25,

Procedure:
1. Cut the colour woollen thread into small pieces.
2. Then grind it in kitchen mixie (if you cut it into large piece, then your mixie will be under repair). It will become a cotton.
3. Draw any design in chart paper.
4. Now paste cotton (woollen thread)in the chart paper, according to that design.
