Fabric painted Chikku kolam for Diwali event in Dublin 2010.
this is the dot pattern. It was quite interesting to create this rangoli. thank you lata
I have sent the same chikku kolam coloured one also.

It has been my dream to make a rangoli that represents one of my favorite plants; the Pitcher plant - Nepenthes. There are many variations when it comes to the shape and color of the Pitcher plant. Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants. Plants consist of specialized leaves in the shape of a pitcher which contains liquid. The insects get attracted to the pitcher and drown in the liquid. The plant absorbs the contents over a period of few days. The comments tag leads you to a detail page, that has the flies-animation file. There are 8 flies zooming around that get settled (trapped) on the dots that were intentionally left over within the pitcher (2 per pitcher). This is a dotted kolam; 15x1, parallel style. Here is one species of Nepenthes:

The flower is equally interesting both in terms of the petal-shape and color:

This kolam is from a base of 5 - 5 dots with extensions on all four sides. The dot count is a bit difficult to explain but is quite clear in the kolam itselt. I copied this from the Aval Vikatan as the design was unique as I fell in love with it immediately. In fact this kolam was done by me last April and safely stored away in my computer and now when I was looking for kolams with flowers I found this pretty one. I think everyone will agree with the title as it is very apt.
