Butterfly kolam with dots step by step


Buttterfly kolam rangoli | 9 pulli 1 varisai 
Four colourful butterflies in this kolam also called Pattampoochi kolam in Tamil , created by me 
The images will give the step by step procedure.  If you are looking for a medium sized kolam for Pongal this may be suitable.

Yes, this is different , here "with colours " means directly drawn with rangoli colours.  I wanted to try a different type of kolam art
Pattampoochi-kolam-with-dots-2312ac.png
and not filled with colours as we usually understand.  The rangoli colours I have are of excellent quality.  So it is possible to draw directly with colours

12 to 2 dots rangoli | 12 dot rangoli
A suitable kolam for New Year ,medium sized design that can be filled with beautiful colours.
I have stopped at the white rangoli step .

First place two rows of 12 dots

Then ten to two dots on either side

Marking the edges of the wings on the butterfly wings by connecting the dots makes it easy for us to draw the kolam quickly

Next the thorax of the butterfly ( you guessed it right , I studied Biology !)

The next  image shows the creation of the wings by connecting the dots

Next comes the neck and antennae , these are drawn free hand because they form outside the dot pattern.  If required we can have a suitable dot pattern that can accommodate the head and / or antennae also , that will result in a lot of extra dots and we will have to convert them into patterns

The few dots at the centre are converted into a design

Some decorations inside the wings are also welcome !

Called pattampoochi in Tamil and sitakoka chiluka in Telugu  along with the peacock the most popular for creating beautiful designs in rangoli or muggulu for various festivals and occasions.
 9 dots pattampoochi kolam ( பட்டாம்பூச்சி  கோலம்  ) | titli rangoli designs with dots for Diwali | seethakoka chilaka muggulu ( సీతాకోక చిలుక ) for Sankranthi 
The dot pattern is 9 dots 2 rows ,  then upto 1 - ner pulli.  The images show the step by step procedure.  Butterfly muggulu are very beautiful because we can add bright colours also.
These rangolies are drawn for festivals like Deepavali, New Year and Sankranti.  
The first few images show how the first butterfly is drawn.  The head , thorax and antennae are drawn first (  borrowed from zoology !)  .

9 dots or pulli kolangal

I f you have come to this blog post in search of  9 dots kolam , 9 to 5 chukki rangoli , 9 chukkala muggulu  or 9 dots rangoli designs you may have come  the right place. As my mother used to say ''manolayam'' - concentration on the task in hand and thinking of nothing else.  Easier said than done.  In fact I find it difficult to stop a kolam at any step ( practitioners of kolam I think will agree ) but time and space are constraints. After viewing these kolangal designs please also like my Facebook page Rangoli sans dots  As they say regimentation and creativity do not go hand in hand.   The choices can be limited only by our imagination.  Each will be beautiful or awesome in its own way. So we must allow our imagination to do its job and the probability of getting an acceptable kolam design is quite high!  Now for some pulli vecha kolangal with 9 dots grid or 9 dots muggulu or chukki rangoli designs First a simple 9 pulli 5 varisai deepam kolam for our Margali, Ne
