Brinjal Plant Kolam
This kolam depicts a brinjal plant also known as an eggplant or aubergine. Color has been added to the flowers and tender brinjals. I have used crayons for coloring as I wanted to get the grainy look that colored sand gives. The number of dots go from a count of 13 in the center line all the way down to 7.

Flower Pot Kolam
This kolam shows a flower pot with flowers blooming. The flowers, leaves and pot have been colored in using watercolors. The number of dots go from 17 down to 9.

Scalloped Flower Kolam
This kolam has lots and lots of flower petals embedded in it. I have used markers for drawing the scalloped curves that form the flowers. The number of dots are repeating blocks of 4X4.
