Valentine's Day Kolam -2
A freehand pattern with hearts within. I just wanted to create something with hearts for this valentine season. A simple theme for this season, a heart enclosed with lots of hearts.

A simple theme for this season, a heart enclosed with lots of hearts. I made a template for the two small hearts to have a symmetry. A cardboard or paper cut into heart shape to outline the shape. I made with a paper and marked the hearts within and coloured with colours.
I loved this display because of bright and vibrant colours used for colouring. This categories into freehand pattern, Wish I come up with more heart concept kolams in future.
I had few more for this season, but didn't have time to execute. I have created some dotted heart kolams.
Sketch the Central Focal Contour
Clean and dampen the floor. With light chalk or a thin stream of white rice flour, sketch the primary central motif (such as a blooming lotus, royal peacock, or sacred oil lamp).
Sweep Concentric Petals Outward
Radiate curving petals, mango paisleys, or flowing floral flourishes outwards from the center, maintaining uniform distance across all quadrants.
Blend Vibrant Natural Powders
Fill the petals and interior sections with rich festive colored powders or dyed rice grains, blending smoothly from deep shades at the base to bright tones at the tips.
Define Crisp Edges & Corner Lamps
Outline all boundaries with a bold, steady line of pure white rice flour to give the colors radiant contrast. Place brass or earthen oil lamps at the perimeter points.
