Hi Jaya Mohan,
You've actually made sure all your chana daal and moong dal are facing down!! Not even a single dal is facing up :) If you would've done this on a glass or a smooth-surfaced canvas, you could be able to save this forever (perhaps frame it... The rugged wood-canvas does give this a unique look.
Vani, Kavitha has been telling a lot about you and your 'kai vannam' in art as well as cooking! Thanks for your compliments! I look forward for your postings to this site!
Oh my gosh!! I was not active in ikolam at that time to enjoy this wonderful creation (and I feel ashamed of myself for not going through your gallery Jaya - likewise many of my other friends - sorry about that - I must do so and comment on their earlier uploads too). Jaya with so much of talent, what is stopping you from creating more wonders. I am sure you will have lots of time on your hands now that you are back in India and I look forward to seeing more such wonders from you soon :)
Wow Jaya maam I am seeing this now only and was spellbound at the work. I bet it would hv taken a lot of time to finish this as I feel u hv placed them one by one... awesome!!!!
Thank you Judy and Pushpa! I think it took about 2 hours to complete. I would have done it with more care if ikolam was existing that time! Judy, you inspire me to do something novel for Navarathri!
Unimaginable exhibit of pulses placed in perfection for a wonderful art.. Sisters are gifted with a unique imagination power and perfect execution skills. Hats off to you Maam..
looks like a showpiece
