Dot count : 15-8
At times we concoct our own surprises!!! Well, that very instance happed with this kolam 😅 A six petalled flower is the theme for #kaarthigaicelebration today in @kolamenthusiasts . And I capped for a hexagaonal shape and tried to bring in sikku petals, but while coalescing the stranded loops...... The upshot was totally upturned...😁😁😁 and there was an unheralded entry of birds and bees.😍
Place the Dots
Sprinkle a few drops of water to clean the floor. Put down 8-Dot dots in straight, even spacing using white rice powder or chalk.
Start from the Center
Find the middle dot. Draw the center loop, star knot, or flower petal first. Starting in the center keeps the pattern perfectly balanced on all sides.
Loop Around the Outer Dots
Pinch the rice flour between your thumb and forefinger. Guide the line smoothly around the dots in one continuous motion without lifting your fingers.
Add Red Border or Lamps
Outline the edges with traditional red Kaavi powder, or place glowing terracotta agal vilakku (oil lamps) at the corners to make your Kolam radiant!
