I am sure you would have seen this design of the chikku kolam done either by Rani or Veni with kolam POWDER. I did this with wet maavu in the terrece. Due to the slop in the floor I could not get the perfect ezhai. Just wanted to share with you all.

Here are the kolams and rangolis in this page:
- Chikku kolam
- Red and white Padikolam
- Blue print of designer kolam
- 9 x 9 dotted kolam
- Guess the dot count
- Morning Raaga
- kolam on glass
- Ear bud kolam on tile
We put padikolam on all auspecious days. Today is Kaaradayaan nonbu. It is celebrated at the time of Tamil months Maasi and Panguni meet. It is called Savithri nonbu, since on this day Sathi Savithri fought back her husband Sathyavaan's life from Yamadharma Raja.
So ladies keep vruth and tie a yellow thread in the neck and make sweet and kaara Adai for prasad. .
So it is a simple Padikolam drawn today before pooja with wet maavu and red( Arakku) color powder.
This the basic drawing of my dotted kolam I am going to color. The dot count is 9-5 in between dots, 4,1 on all six sides.
Colored version can be found here:

This is a designer kolam with dots. Since coloring is done you have to guess the dot count.
To make it easy I have given the basic drawing clue below the kolam, as how the lines are connected in most places.
I realized that all my kolams appear on the right side i.e in the dotted category only. so for a change made one on the spot free hand kolam. Of course coloring done by the left over riversand mixed with liquid color.
This wet maavu simple kolam I put on a glass ( glass piece broken which I had no mind to throw). On the table I kept one colored gift wrapper paper( again... no mind to throw) and on that kept the glass and drew this with wet maavu . After it dried , did some scratching with unused toothpik.
So this is for all of you to enjoy and try such new methods to draw kolams with unused/ used materiels.
After seeing Judy's kitchen top chikku kolam with rice powder base , I too got tempted. The previous rangoli when erased I got a violetish mixture which I filtered on the white tile and with ear bud drew this simple chikku kolam. It took only 10 minutes.Looking ok?
