    Dear kolam enthusiasists ,

    This ezhai kolam [ used rice flour ] is done with a sauce dispenser after many trials.
    i found this technique
    less time consuming & very easy.
    sumtimes not able to control the flow. but any mehendi designer can do better than this i think.

    Nice attempt Sadhu, the kolam looks neat. Rice flour means Have you used the ready made dry powder or the usual traditional way to soad rice and grind?

    Sadhu, seriously till now I have never ever been able to draw the maa kolams......and your unique and innovative idea of using a sauce dispenser may be my last resort to try these kolams during the festival seasons.
    Thank you dear !!
    Your attempt is excellent and I cannot find any flaws anywhere !!

    thanks to you dears for encouraging me with your precious comments.

    latha ,

    i used readymade rice powder which is avl in the shops. not even home-made.

    but , i find wet grinded maavu with lil urad dal in it is soooo bright than powder. both methods got its own + & - . we have to choose according to our need. no time means = powder , grand events - wet maavu like that

    powder one gives embossed look. for the past 2 days iam experimenting like anything with this . its a funny story yaar.

    any how , iam happy for having invented this method which is so easy & quick that saves us from back pain. so , now with this , we can draw more bigger ones without any fear of time & pain.

    sudha ,

    TRY , TRY .... dont give up dear , sure you will get it. good luck ! :thumbsup

    some suggestions from my side ...

    first try it with lil maida to get in to the practice & to know the right consistency. once you are familiar with the idea , you can proceed with powder method & finally with wet maavu.

    i also did in the same order only. iam crazy about this ezhai kolam as it looks at it best if drawn on pooja black granite stone. i simply love that beautiful look.

    see my 2nd trial below , so dont worry .... go ahead & post your success story. we will be glad to hear that.

    I will try this.
