7 dots sikku kolam images

Sikku kolam poduvathu eppadi |  7 dots kambi kolam | 7 pulli kambi kolam 
The beauty of this type of kolam is drawing the curved lines that move around the dots gracefully with neat lines and curved lines.  
We should draw the entire kolam with confidence to get beautiful designs.  The secret is very simple.  It is just practice.  It must be cliche but that is the truth.  
Practising many kolams will make us better and better in this art. 

Practising the same kolam on a notebook with pen or pencil several times or with a  chalk piece on floor will increase our confidence in drawing the design because they are extremely tricky most times.

 The more confident we are with the design the more beautiful our lines will be.  The number of breaks in the lines should also be minimum 
Dot pattern 7 dots 4 rows, 5 dots one row between and two extra dots

If you have come here looking for sikku kolam for beginners, sikku kolam new designs or sikku kolam rangoli easy some of the designs shared here may fit the bill.  I would like to reiterate ( since I have already stated elsewhere in this website i.e if my memory serves me right ) sikku kolangal and padi kolam are among the best rangoli in the world , in my opinion.  These old and traditional rangolis are unique, ckikku kolam as it is also called for the challenging designs and padi kolam for the thin fine lines.  Incidentally sikku means not , neli means wriggle .  I think we agree that these names describe them perfectly.
