Star Kolam
Over make up ruins the show LOL. I did the same thing to this kolam. I should have stopped drawing the main elements and no further experiment with frills and curls on the sikku strand.
Over make up ruins the show LOL. I did the same thing to this kolam. I should have stopped drawing the main elements and no further experiment with frills and curls on the sikku strand. I feel those look out of place. I like this kolam particularly for the evenly placed dots. I don't feel comfortable in placing the interlaced dots. My maiden effort in intermediate dot count and I'm pleased with the final result. Dot Count 13 -7 Interlaced kolam. I have used chalkpiece as the drawing medium.

Trace Concentric Guidelines on the Floor
Anchor a piece of thread at your center point and lightly trace 3 to 5 concentric circular guidelines with faint chalk on the clean floor.
Place the Central Core Flower
Position a magnificent whole lotus blossom or a tight, dense rosette of vibrant yellow marigold petals at the very center as the visual anchor.
Layer Concentric Petal Rings Outward
Fill each concentric ring with contrasting fresh petals (orange marigold, pink rose, purple orchids, and white jasmine), packing petals closely for a rich velvety texture.
Crown Perimeter with Oil Lamps
Surround the outer floral rim with dark green mango leaves or bilva leaves. Place glowing brass or terracotta oil lamps (agal vilakku) at cardinal compass points.
