I've never heard of a Kolam, but I'm so glad you showed us. Wasanti's designs are exquisite. I think I would love to just park myself in a spot nearby and just watch her work. How fascinating. And I agree with you, her designs would make lovely embroidery. I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures from your trip. Welcome home and enjoy the rest of your weekend!<br /><br />DebbieDebbie @ MeandMyDIYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454606067378290761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8315539149655307592.post-37880915754450751292013-04-12T04:21:18.111+01:002013-04-12T04:21:18.111+01:00Thank you!

It seems like I have seen similar designs in Batiks from India. So much work, symbolism, talent and ancestor influence in the art of Koalm.

Ah, we have been to Chennai several times, to meet with the General Manager from Pond's India after our consulting work for them. They had at that time also a mushroom division for which we worked. Also their leather garment business is in Chennai. We had some great food in that city; lovely memories in general about India.<br />Oh, the artwork and above all their PATIENCE is something that seems to be completely lost to the western world!<br />Hugs to you,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.com
