- Star kolam with new decoration
- Paavaikkai kolam.
- coconut/Banana poo kolam.
This is a simple design drawn with 10/10 straight dots. This also own design from my old kolam book. No time to draw big rangolis, hence did this at 10 P.M . The base is a wooden plank.
I am a flatdweller, longing to put kolam on a mud floor.,What to do? so I changed my black granite with a mud color podi base and copied Pushpa's 7-4 dotted Chikku/maakolam and borrowed Deepa's lotus flowers and imitated Rani's THICK lines with kolapodi/rice podi mixture.Is this looking different?
This is a welcome kolam to the new'Rabbit Year'. This was done in a hurry. Last weekful I was very busy. But wanted to wish you all thru a kolam, so drew this in a hurry.
After putting 13-7 inbetween dots ,I just started doing a butterfly kolam but ended with this design. colored it with the remaining old kolam powders.( new stock has to bring for Pongal no?)
This one also an old star kolam with dot count 15-8, and 5-1 on all the six sides (inbetween dots).The paavakaai and other decorations are made to this otherwise simple kolam and used coconut poo for coloring this. ( I have used only 3 tablespoonful of white kolapodi and recyled coconutpoo... I am very kanjoos no?)
This kolam is also an oldest pattern slightly modified. The dot count is 9-5 inbetween dots, then 2-1 on all the six sides.The yellow colored design is called ' Paavaikkai or bittergaurd' design, we all would have put this so many times. The centre will be usually a star design which I have changed in to a flower design. In the outer colomn also instead of paavaikai, I put small girls like design going around, hoping the younger generations also will continue this Kolam Art.
This simple design is made with colored coconut poo and decorated with plastic little flowers and tander Vazhaipoo ( banana flower). I think it should be called vegitable/poo kolam.
