The BNB17 contest has created quite a stir with our dear international beaders who are hearing about Kolams for the first time in their lives. So in order to satisfy their curiosity and encourage them further – here are some more examples of kolams. All these kolam pictures (excepting 1 by me) are from Kamala’s Corner – Kolangal section, Created and/or curated by the very talented Kamala. Please visit her blog for step-by-step pictures on how to draw these beauties.She also has an amazing blog on Indian food do check it out
Knot Based Kolam
Color filled Line based or Free Hand
Religious/Worship Based kolams or Yantras
Occasion Specific Kolam
These examples barely scratch the possibilities that exist in this art form but I hope they would have given you a direction or a patch in which you could proceed. I would like to inform you that I have started to receive entries for the contest and will upload them midway through the contest. I am eagerly awaiting the other entriesLest you Forget – Here is the inspiration picture with the Color Palette
