You could print this file by clicking the print dots label you see at the bottom of the page. The dot grid is 21-11, interlaced style (idukku pulli).
Here is the requested Dotted kolam that had ducks and fishes.
The dot count is 21 - 11, interlaced dots (idukku pulli).
I quickly drew this diagram to show the dots and the basic patterns, that fits within the grids.
I'll upload the printable version of the dots separately, so that anybody could take a print out and try it out.
design with flowers and small diyas in between the designs
SriKrishna's feet in the middle with Thulasi leaves, surrounded by flowers at the entrance of the house.
This is also one of my inventions :).... Its a 9-1(straight dots) kolam.
The day this kolam was displayed I copied it on a piece of paper and made the base on photoshop but due to electricity fluctuations at my place could not work on it after that.. Just today I saw Lata's post to say that tomorrow was the last day for submission so in a hurry I completed the kolam with some experimented effects and hope everyone likes it... I am posting the kolam that's drawn on paper and the re-creation on photoshop...
All along I was postponing to draw the easy methods of this kolam.
THOSE WHO ARE IN A HURRY DO NOT TRY THIS NOW.
mOhanaji, I am thrilled to see this pattern finding a place in your wonderful story.
In chennai meet, I did not get time to explain.
Anirudhji, sorry for the delay in giving the details.
There are 2 ways to draw.First put 16 dots in a circular design.
1)After each dot put 3 small lines. The dot and the 3 lines next to it make one set or group.Then start from any one dot join it in a semi circular way in the inner circle to the third line in the following set( leaving inbetween 2 sets.
Then from there continue drawing a small outer semicircle joining it to the dot starting after 2 sets. Repeat this inner, outer curves alternatively till u come to the starting point . If u read this seeing the picture it will be clear.Then putting 3 more parellel lines connecting the left out dots/ lines are easy.
This method gives perfect symmetry.
2)Here no need to explain. Draw eight lines without touching the dots. Then join each lines outside in semi circle to the other line leaving 3 dots in between.Once the main design is completed draw the extra parellel lines.
I do not know whether it is clear. Ask if any doubt.
For me it was a challenge when my sister asked me to try this.
Lata I re-arranged the combination of my kolams and here is the first lot of advanced chikku kolams...
This is drawn in pc for Onam festival.it was raining that day so I designed pookolam in Pc.
