This is a bit complicated as I substituted a round
candle picture photographed vertically from above
for the letter o. Where the L's meet a beautiful
svAstika (anti-clockwise) is created.

I experimented with various fonts and used a suitable one.
To create a wavelike feeling, I added the letter c to the
bottom of y and made j and y continuous. The four joys
meet at j. In principle I could have used a different
colour for o and make it look like a pearl or coral,
but didn't as new year's day was almost over!

This was done with the word HOPE and its mirror images.
Since the mirror image of H is itself, they were joined together
and the horizontal mirror images of H were overlaid in such
a way that the two lines of E and its mirror image coincide.
Then the H's form a ladder and on the right side, the E's
intercalate resulting in this pattern. The mirror image of
H was chosen deliberately, because hope sometimes is not
real, but only virtual. You cannot touch it. It is like
a dream! Enjoy!
This is one of my favourite kolam. I have drawn this twice, one during the Margazhi month and next during my Thalai pongal. It has got a 3D effect. This kolam bagged me first prize in our colony kolam competition.
Rangoli that I had drawn on a function of Iyyappan pooja in our home. I used color powder and it's my imagination rangoli.
Dear friend:
Happy New Year to you and to all your
near and dear ones.
Some explanations for this year's card: As you know,
I am nowadays trying to explore the beauty of
letters using symmetry in all languages.
Top left: HOPE (and its mirror image). Hope is
sometimes a mirror image. Is it not?
Top right: JOY. Incidentally an extra curve is
created to y by adding deftly the letter c.
Bottom left: Obvious (PEACE)
Bottom right: LOVE. In place of O, a round
candle is placed.
In the center is the most difficult assignment
DEMON => ANGEL. Still not satisfied.
But for the message, if you hold the card upside
down, the design will not change!
Have a prosperous new year! - mOhana
My cousin d had done this Rangoli. I just watched and enjoyed it.
I had made this for last Sankranthi. This is a free-hand design.
I had made this rangoli for Sankranthi last year, this has no dots and is a free hand design.
This is one of my water rangoli using stencil cut design.
