Happy 100th Women's Day

Thanks everyone for such complimentary comments. All my tiredness went away by seeing all your words. There is no secret in this. I wanted to make a Kumizh kolam since when i saw one in ikolam some 6 or 7 months back. But i don't have any instrument or any idea of making such type of kolam. Again i was tempted by one of our friends recently. So i decided to make one in my own way and present something different for the Women's Day. Of course, it took me lot of time and i couldn't upload it on time. When i was looking for a design to make for Women's Day, my daughter showed me this picture made by cross-stich and there was no pattern given for that. So i prepared the pattern in a graph sheet by seeing the picture and counting the crosses. Then i drew squares on top of the Diwan (100 x 72 squares of 1 cm each) and made the design with normal kolapodi by filling each square one by one with hand. (If members want i will upload the grid photograph where i started from). It was a difficult job than what i expected. It took me two days to finish it (of course, in the middle of my household works and could not comment on any kolam for the last 4 days) may be nearly 10 to 12 hours. It would not have been possible for me without the encouragement of my husband, MIL and FIL. My husband helped me in making the squares and some tips in colouring also. He is the moral boost for me. So i must thank all of them for improving my talent to this extent. Please somebody reveal the secret of Kumizh kolam. IS there any instrument for that? Mohana Sir, Thank you. My efforts are rewarded by your words.
