Sikku Kolam - 118

I didn't have a mood to draw a sikku with a single line, as a single line sikku kolam needs a rehearsal before going on to the floor version. A single line has to travel throughout the kolam without duplicating, so a swift twist and turns are more seen in this single boss kolam.

So today I preferred to play a safe game by choosing a seven dots kolam and very easy one.. I joined four 7 dots kolams to create a five in one kolam... I created five kolams and had 10 dots left out 40 in total. Tried to add some sikku strands, but wasn't satisfied as I felt those looked aloof from the main design, so gone for a lamps. These lamp design should have been the first design for many who started to draw kolams as a child. I hope 6x6 dot count should the one which I am referring to!!

Ms. Sangeetha from Mumbai had asked me about the rangoli powder. The rangoli powder which I have used for this kolam is Nylon Podi. Hope Bengalurians will be aware about I am talking about. This rangoli powder is an old stock which I got from a friend of mine. Last month a good friend of mine took the pain of purchasing some 50kgs of Nylon Podi and 60kgs colour powders and shipped to my parents home from Bengaluru. Hopefully I will ship them to Singapore in June:-0
