I was actually going for a Ganesh line drawing for the middle but decided on an annapachi. Copied the basic design from one of my sarees then modified it to make it my design.

I love the blue pink combination in this - but I shouldn't have used red and yellow for the side designs, looks unbalanced.

Oh yes it took a long time to do - especially the annapachi coz of all the small lines. My back nearly went to sleep.

How do u put the powder onto the kolam? Is it stroke by stroke with ur hand only, or using something like a seive/tea filter? Coz it looks reallllly smooth..:)
thanks - we don't get the powder here and the powder gives a dull colour when mixed with rice. Thats actually rice and poster colour
and applied it with hand only - its painstaking - especially the small lines. Actually took me 7 hours including breaks every hour
Keep it up.
lots of patience there girl..
thanks i think its supposed to be annam - but isnt it called annapachi as well?
I do occasionally :) thanks - any photos of ur sisters works? ;)
yes that i have ;)
thanks ;)
