Water Flour
Today being Varalakshmi pooja. Yesterday the house underwent some spring cleaning and beautification. As the official kolam drawer of the house, I had fun playing with water and flour.

Wow! Lovely!
Kolams are a fascinating art, like free hand drawing... I grew so interested in them when I was about 8... During the whole month of Margazhi, I used to get up early and paint our front yard with rangolis...

Somehow down the line, lost interest in it... Coz we no longer had a spacious front yard..:( More than the rangolis, I love the ones with lots of curves, without any color... the paati style of kolams...

Nice idea to blog this... I will follow regularly:) The maa kolam looks really cool..

Coloured rice for rangoli? So that'll have the same procedure as with salt, excpet rice doesn't soak up water fromt eh atmosphere... hmmm... interesting, thanks.

I am interested in this sort fo stuff, mostly for college fests and all, so ... find these little by the ways bits fo information you drop fascinating.

Camphor : this is the easiest way to do it any time - instant kolams - just make sure the mixture of flour and water is not too think or too drippy and vohla draw ur designs ;)
