    Kolams

    Mrs.C,

    Thanks for posting the small dot kolams and the other kolams.

    I had learnt quite a few and this is a good chance to refresh my memory.

    I draw small kolams with chalk in front of my home!

    I did see the posting on kannan kavacham. It is a lot of effort you have put in!

    Love and take care!:clap

    All for my dear I L Ites, Radha !

    I am very happy to know that you continue to draw the kolams with a chalk, where you live. This is the ideal way to teach your daughters !
    I love Kannan Kavacham. Since it is not very popular & I want everyone to know it, I posted it, Radha !
    Thankyou for the F b.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Wow ! At the right time...

    Dear Chitra,

    You have posted the rigt post at the right time ! Marghazhi is known for kolams...

    Seeing your attached kolams I was just thrilled...I can used all those 3/4 pulli kolams on my pooja table ! I put kolam everyday and I keep repeating same one's (from my small kolam collections ) again and again ! now, I have huge varieties to choose from.

    Thanks for the kolam attachments (I can make sure of only the pulli kolams and not others, as my poojai table is not big enough to accommodate big kolams ! ).

    Thanks for the post !

    Love,
    Preethi

    Somehow I missed this

    Dear Chitra,
    A big thank you for the kolams. I draw kolam everyday in my pooja room since it is very cold to step outside. Will use your collection also. Brings back memories when you talk of Markazhi seening the wonderful kolams in front of everybody's house. Am homesick now:cry:
    Love,

    Lovely kolams

    Dear Chitra,

    Another whole hearted attempt on your part to bring us the basics of kolams. It is extremely useful to people like me. You have awakened an interest for kolams in me and apart from the most simple ones, I had no idea about the pulli kolams and was always wondering as to how it works. Thanks for those detailed pics, very very easy to follow and instructive.

    L, Kamla

    My dear Preethi !

    I am posting only small kolams, suitable for a small place. Big kolams are not on my agenda at all !
    The apatmt kolams can also be drawn on a small scale on the swami table easily.
    Thanks for your F b, Preethi.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    My dear Radha !

    With me around you on the virtual screen, how can you say, you are feeling homesick, Radha ?
    Don't cry, Baby, please don't !
    Now kolam competitions are becoming increasingly popular in Chennai & other places ! Real feast for the eyes !
    Thankyou for the F b, Radha.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    My dear Mohana !

    More than Chennai, as we go down south, kolams are breath-taking.
    I was deeply involved in drawing kolam in front of my house, till 10 yrs back. Once we shifted to a flat, the interest waned !
    Thanks for your F B, Madurai Ponnu !
    Love,
    Chithra.

    My dear Sujata !

    You are the very personification of encouragement, can't help saying it !
    In pulli kolam, the theory is, you end where you started.
    From earth we come & unto earth, we go !
    Thanks for your F B.
    Love,
    Chithra.
