Rajamma mam', this modern flower looks beautiful, I would find it hard to control the details with wet rice batter, especially to spread it for use as white color.
Rajamma mam, rangoli and border to that is realy good.
Lata, here no space to draw kolam , so I have used Kitchen platform. No rangoli powder or mogge maavu so has to depend on wet maavu. Anyhow participation is important no?
By the way for the Marghazhi kolam competition, can we use rice wet maaavu?
Dear Mam', you sure have packed a lot of details in this counter-top kolam! Lucky for you, you've ended up with a nice brown contrasting background too!
You're correct, participation is what is important, wet rice batter is okay to use. Our idea behind mentioning about the medium was to eliminate the use of pen/pencils/paper/computer. You see, when you compare drawing kolams on paper versus actually making kolams on the ground, we all know that the paper version is easier (which would make the judging kind of unfair). Besides, I've received emails from some fans who think that the art of creating kolams using dots is slowing diminishing...and I think they are right. Hence the idea of dotted-kolam contest to preserve as well as serve all our fans. I would appreciate your two cents on this too, so please do comment about that so all of the members could make up their own minds about this fact.
