Forest of Ferns
Rangoli: Forest of Ferns

Ferns are so beautiful to see. Here is a forest of ferns to hike through.

The word fern reminds one of the nostalgia of youth in the autumn of life.
One such poem yearning for the golden days of youth is the Fern Hill of
Dylan Thomas. The closing lines of that poem are given below:

Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea. - Dylan Thomas

The full poem and details may be viewed hereunder:

Advanced Kolams

This is one of my favourite kolams with has both chikku and poo kolam combined.... i have given different colours for the connecting lines respectively and i am sure this will make it easy for people who are learning to draw kolams.

Rajamma - this is based on your advise... thanks for giving me this idea because many times i used to get confused while drawing these chikku kolams on the continuity of lines etc,here is an easy way out...

Flower Rangoli

I put this flower rangoli on our office Ayudha pooja celebration. Used leaves and flowers to decorate.

Autumn Leaves
Rangoli: Autumn Leaves

Autumn is not only a season of contentment, but also of regret
The red maple leaves were the memories of the bright days of youth
Alas, it is only a memory now for the dreaming tree
When the last leaf fell, what remained was bleakness
A long hibernation before the gentle hand of spring awakens
O spring, where is the soft breeze and the riot of colours
Wake me up and fill me with life and love of life!

Here is a collage of patterns with maple leaves. Enjoy! - mOhana
