CURATOR'S NOTES & TECHNIQUE

Here is the making of the "Ugadi Tippudu Muggulu"..

The first step is placing of dots. Place 7 dots three times followed by 5 and 3 on either sides.

Now draw triangles with the shown coordinates (1,1) (2,1) (2,2). Always have the bottom centre dot (0,0) as the reference point. Now form triangles on four sides. After drawing the triangles form a "I" section shape as seen in the picture 2. Now draw the same "I" section shape on the opposite side. The last strand is forming a dome shape at the bottom and looping around the left over dots. That's it..

Then add some extensions around the main kolam and filled pink and purple colours in it. I have used only two colours as mutlicolour for a small kolam would make the sikku kolam look clumsy.
