Mr.Mahesh, your rose is elegant! This is one technique that we wish someone would demonstrate. :)

Lata, my son told me that his classmates do this type of ranglois fast for any special occasion in their college! They draw squares with chalk-piece, mark the color for the squares and keep filling them with hand releasing the powder thro' the whole within little finger! Even you can use a cone also to do this!Anyway, Iam yet to try as Iam ever lazy!

You can even mark grids on chart paper. Mark a cross stitch pattern on the chart with colour sketches. Stick the chart on floor. Then using appropiate colour powders fill in the grid by pouring kolam powder through the fist or a cone, to give the 3d sauare effect. A time and powder consuming work!!!

Jayaji and Vani, thank you for the explanation, I would try a tiny design later on, as I'm running low on kolam powder. :)

One of my embroidery kolam I tried this method on a tile. But it takes so much time. This rose looks nice.... an embroidery on the floor!
