Simple 13-1 straight dotted kolam with my favourite lavender/ green color make up.Kids said there are so many 'V' in this so named it"V" kolam.(I expect 8 out of ten marks for this and hinted it in the kolam also).
Dotted Kolams
Here are the kolams and rangolis in this page:
- "V" kolam... not ikolam
- Flower Kolam
- sona hexagon
- chiku kolam
- chikku kolam
- Maakolam
- Swan
- Lily Flowers
- dot kolam
- Simple 9 x 9 suzhi kolam
After giving colours, we need to put the white border
again, so that the kolam will be bright and beautiful...
This is an important (to me) dotted rangOli. many of you may remember I introduced sona patterns some time ago (see my blog http://www.ikolam.com/node/7295 and my rangOlis too). When there is only one colour for the rectangular pattern, there are two colours for the sona square. I was for a long time wondering whether I could construct a sona hexagon. At last I did. I took a 3 X 2 sona pattern (in cyan right bottom) and from that constructed a sona hexagon which has, like sona square, only two colours. This is a very important pattern. Most of the chikku kOlmas are drawn for dots in a square grid. But I have shown that we can draw such a pattern for hexagonal grid too (shown on top left as a guide). When rangOlis are drawn on hexagonal grids, three lines meet at a point. In this rangOli, there is a chikku triangle. Look at how the lines go up and down as in the square chikku kOlmas. I will at some time demonstrate this with strings for better understanding. Please study this pattern carefully when you try to draw on the floor or do an embroidery. Enjoy!

hi frienz, how is this kolam ? this is my first submission in this segment please let me know ur comments please.
This is a maakolam with dot count 7x7 with 1x2 dots in the middle on all 4 sides and 2x2 and 1 on all 4 corners. The picture looks dull to enhance the colors. I took two shots, one with brighter version and this one the darker version, this looked better... hope you like it
