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.
As per your suggestion, here is a collage of items found in the kitchen.
These are the ones that are important to me and to my well-being 
I have made two patterns with a wooden spoon and a wooden fork. I have
laid out the table for dinner. There is even a cartoon of people (top right)
with knife, fork and plates. Lakshmi, please don't say it is EkAdashi!

There is a plant with leaves like butterflies. To learn more, go to

With such a butterfly leaf, some patterns were created. Enjoy!
Any motif is good enough for a rangOli. Here is a collage of
rangOlis I made with the (open/closed) parenthesis. Enjoy!
