Lakshmi, I was waiting to see these ladies to appear in ikolam. ( The rice pounding design no?). They are looking very cute in a stunning pink color saree and garland in their hand wishing us all on this IWD . Thanks for the wishes with this lovely rangoli.

Excellent work Lakshmi mam. The ladies are looking very cute in pink saree and matching yellow colour blouse. You have taken care of all the aspects (Kondai, a flower in the kondai, ear rings, Bindi, bangles, zari in the blouse, saree border etc etc).

Beautiful Presentation for Women's Day. The ladies accessories are well matched to their lovely pink shade saree(I remember my mother had a similar fashioned saree some years back) The garlands look nice, good shading work. The flower on the top looks pretty.
I appreciate your energy level Lakshmi and enthusiasm in creating kolams..
Woooooooow, can anyone make kolams like u do, i was waiting to see ur kolam pa and as always i am amazed, pleasantly shocked, and am looking at the design again and again. The detailing in this kolam is done so beautifully and with so much care. I loved the saree/blouse combination, kondai, poo, and the garland. ungaloda kaiku oru thanga valaiyel podalam (can put a gold bangle for ur hands) but what to do i dont have so much money, when I hit a lottery will buy u okay he he :) by the way who r the two ladies, i know it is not me, cos they are too slim and beautiful to be me... is it u and rani mam???
Beautiful women indeed! I agree Pushpa, the saree/blouse color and also the accessories look very pretty. I too am wearing the same hairstyle today, but, my own jasmine flowers are yet to bloom here. :) And, regarding the pretty big bindis, I've only worn bindis about 1/8th the size of these. Maybe I should try one of the big ones. :0
Laxmi uhhh.new profile pic ,oooooh no more strict teacher look .U and ur kol;am both l;ook very very cute and pretty .Did u use the stencil for these ladies or did the free hand drawing .They are mirro image of each others .Lovely laxmi .Even i feel like doing some free hand kolam but as i said earlier my hubby does not like it ,so i avoid .
Thanks for the wishes. Here is my wish to all.
For all the women who traded their
Eyeliner for dark circles;
Salon haircuts for pony tails;
Long showers for quick showers;
Late nights for early mornings;
Designer handbags for diaper bags;
This is for those women who don't care about what they gave up, instead LOVE what they get in return.
HAPPY WOMEN's DAY TO ALL MY IKOLAM FRIENDS.
