Kolam by Sudha Balaji

Those who follow me on social media may have observed that I share more reels than long videos. I was using the existing longer videos to create reels, shorts and was sharing them.  I still do. My ardent followers probably noticed and requested for new designs.   Any number of designs that we have is sufficient if we want to draw a new rangoli kolam daily throughout the year.  So, I shot videos of about 10 patterns that I had created (as I stated elsewhere, I try creating new designs in the afternoon, some of them become public as images or videos).   This post and the subsequent one are on the latest rangoli kolam I shared on Facebook. For those who want to draw with dots, this is a 5 by 5 dot rangoli, we can try freehand too. There are many posts with intermediate steps.  In this post I have shared only the completed images.   I have given the dot grid I have used also for pulli kolam.  Please try.

 Refer to the previous post for a few latest rangoli designs. The next of designs are shared in this post.  Please Continuing from the previous post, though I have lots of designs ready, my cameraman (my husband:)) should be available to shoot the videos. He has been busy for a few weeks.  In fact, both of us were busy.  He is cross with me because he says photographers earn a lot from shooting videos and editing them, but I offer him only a cup of tea. It is just a joke.  Yes, editing is also done by him, and he has become quite good with experience.  He uses a high-end camera and software.   Occasionally we shoot videos directly from the mobile for shorts.  May be the algorithm likes it because it knows that the content is original.
