in-between dots 13 - 7

This is one of my favourite kolams with has both chikku and poo kolam combined.... i have given different colours for the connecting lines respectively and i am sure this will make it easy for people who are learning to draw kolams.

Rajamma - this is based on your advise... thanks for giving me this idea because many times i used to get confused while drawing these chikku kolams on the continuity of lines etc,here is an easy way out...

Flower with six petals!
Flower with six petals!
Normally flowers have only five petals. This has something to do with growth and related to the hEmachandra-Fibonacci series I spoke about recently. But thogh rare, there are a few six petalled flowers. One such flower is a sparkling blue flower. Two arrangements with it are shown. Find the difference between the two, if possible. When we draw rangOlis with dots, the symmetry is perfect if the dots are placed properly. But in nature, even if there is six-fold symmetry it is only approximate and any arrangement with such a flower is also approximate. That is why the contacts in these pictures are not perfect. The search for perfection is always through symmetry. That is why the artists in Islam used symmetric patterns in their mosques to search for the perfect.

Not only very beautiful, but also highly educative.
Take the negative of this, you'll get it on a white background.
You know the beauty of this type of rangOli is that there are countless ways
of drawing with the same number of dots, etc. It is like the same water in
different pots. Wonderful! Regards! - mOhana
