This is a chiku kolam from my mom's collection of designs. I had borrowed her notebook of kolams a few years ago, when I had started this site. This design is also for a member of this site (Mr/Ms ilavenil), who had asked about how to get started in making this chiku kolam (http://www.ikolam.com/node/5947)

Please click on the blue button located at the bottom of the dot grid, to start/stop the animation.

This is a dotted Karthigai deepam rangoli, and the strokes are animated to show the drawing procedure.
Please click on the blue button seen at the bottom of the image.

Who wouldn't want to be the lucky recipient of this bouquet of flowers? Please click the blue button located at the bottom of the image, to see the flow of the strokes.

Due to Amavasai, Im able to draw rangoli on floor. So, I tried this digital version. Hope u all like it pa.

Here is an animated circular dotted kolam that I'm uploading after a long time. It has 17 dots at the center line followed by 15, and then it varies. Hope you enjoy it.

I got interested in making this chikku kolam, after I had read the comments from Jayanthi's kolam (http://www.ikolam.com/node/14107). In order to show the design without any borders/frills, I have drawn the strokes and omitted the central netted square filler that we see in Jayanthi's design. I'm hoping Dawn would find this easy.

This is a mirror design dotted kolam. There is an outer frame and an inner frame. The dot count varies for the inner frame and the outer ones. The kolam has interlaced dot style, and is one of my favorite mirror designs. The bird beaks at the ends could be replaced by snakes tongue, if one wants. Clicking on the blue button shows you how to draw.
