Rangoli: Quilled  photo frame

Apart from greeting cards, I make quilled foto frames. This is one of them before framing.

Rangoli: Navratri celebrations

This is the common Golu kept in our building basement< foto taken early morning before the alankarams.

Rangoli: Close up of our first floor swamy room

This close up is to show 2 things. One is the decoration around the lamp with coloured stones. The other is that 3 idols of Murugan, Valli and Deivanai are covered with sandal paste {chandanakkaappu]. The idols being copper, needs frequent elaborate cleaning. So, I put chandanakkaappu for all the three. Once in 3-4 months I clean them nicely and again put sandal paste, draw eyes, eyebrows and lips with colour pens. The hanging lamps are given as gift by rajamma for her son's wedding. Unfortunately, it was not working when I clicked this.

Rangoli: Web kolam

Started with something in mind , ended with something else.

Rangoli: Kids drawing

I teach 4 year old LKG kids. When I introduce numbers, to make it more interesting, I teach them to make drawing using that particular number. I use the strokes which they are familiar with, and they draw alongwith me step by step. These are some of their drawing using the number 8. I was surprised to see about 95% of the class could do reasonably well for their age. Thought I will display some of them.

Rangoli: Rangoli competition

My sister Uma works with LIC Bombay. They had a rangoli comptn in their office. These are some of the entries, her entry being the one with green and pink squares. I will ask her to become a member of Ikolam.
