wonderful creation... Beautiful neat/nice strokes.
Pretty and very neat strokes. Please provide tips to do this kolam.
Dear All!
Thanks for the wonderful response! Ms Lata - just LOVED your "awesome!" :)
As for the tips, here goes:
1) We start with the basic 8 spoke radial , these will form the main lines.( the "plus" mark and "into" mark combined)
2) mark 5 dots - equidistant on all the 8 spokes.
3) Branch out 2 lines from each dot, on both side of the main lines.
4) When you finish drawing these branch lines on all the sides, you'll get the center portion of the kolam.
5) Then its only extension of the petals .
6) connect the 8 main lines with petal shapes first. (you'll get the basic 8 petal lotus)
7)Then, fill in all the other petals by connecting the tips of the corresponding branch lines, one after the other.
8) Voila! Your Sahasra-Dala- Padmam is ready! :)

Dear Ms Mohana
I count each diamond shape for a petal. I don't know what you counted. It comes up to 1016 approximately.
Thanks once again! :)
