Very small rangoli designs without dots
We need very small white rangoli designs for our daily vasal kolam. I would like to reiterate that time and space are constraints at present.
However, to follow to tradition of decorating the entrance with small and simple kolam we need some ideas.
Rangoli tips - Symmetry is very important for the beauty of rangoli but when we draw with rangoli powder with our fingers
it is possible that there may be imperfections here and there. We should concentrate on the overall symmetry and should not compare individual elements.
For example, in the muggulu designs shared above there may be slight differences in the lengths of the arms, sizes of the patterns.
That is our limitation and constraints we humans have.
All pictures above show what can be the centre of bigger designs. Free hand rangoli can expand radially and hence only sky or rather space available (pun unintended :) is the limit. Sharing small rangoli videos on YouTube is quite easy. The problem comes when I share bigger rangoli particular the knotted designs (they can be challenging). Some of them think I am fast, and few others think I am too slow while others are okay with the speed. I still have not found a solution for this problem. Occasionally I share a design first in normal speed and then in slow motion. The advent of shorts and reels has revolutionised the concept of audience retention and may have solved by problem to some extent. A 30 second video may have a retention of less than 10 seconds. So, I try to factor this and produce videos accordingly.
