Rangoli designs with dots - 6 dots

The next rangoli with a 6 by 6 dot grid, shown in two stages.  Place the dot pattern - in the top portion of the image, the patterns at the bottom are drawn first and they are later modified to the patterns at the top.  The bottom portion shows the completed rangoli with colours addded.
   

The next one  with 6 by 6 dots is a floral design with some geometric patterns at the base of each flower. Place the six by six dot template.  Draw the floral patterns on the four sides.  Then draw the simple pattern at the centre (it is filled with colours and hence looks complicated).  Connect the flowers to the central design.  Fill the flower with yellow and pink colours for the flowers!. The same rangoli with the steps required.  First draw the straight lines as shown on the four sides.  Add floral patterns on the tops and connect the three dots at the bottom of each straight line with jagged patterns as shown.  Complete the rangoli as in step 3.  Two colourful versions are available here for reference.

Above -The next rangoli in this series with six dots  A simple design symmetric patterns with few colours.  The patterns on the four sides are drawn as shown in the video.  Then connect them to the central design.  Add a few petal on the four edges. and fill up with a few colours. The videos for these designs are there in my YouTube channel Rangolisansdots All the rangoli patterns above are suitable to  be used as Navratri rangoli for kolu, aren't they.  Two intermediate steps shown on the right


The next rangoli using 6 dot grid is a plain white design.  The dot pattern is 6 by 6. As is obvious from the images it is a very simple design using simple patterns and can be used as a daily rangoli design. Two intermediate stages of the kolam are shown below.




Paisley designs are also used in rangoli with dots.  They can be drawn using a portion of the dot pattern or can be drawn free hand outside the dot grid.  In this rangoli I have used three dots on each corner of the dot grid to draw the paisley design.  It is a 6 by 6 dot grid.  The rangoli is show in three steps.  In the first step the patterns shown are drawn leaving the central dots and the ones at the corners for Paisleys.  The dots at the centre have been used to get lamps designs.  The completed rangoli is shown in the third step.

                                          


The kolam shown in the photo below uses a 6 by 6 dot grid.  After placing the dot grid draw the four patterns including the paisley (or mangai design in Tamil ).  At the centre use the two by two dot grid to draw the designs in purple.  Around this the deepam design is drawn with the remaining dots.  The gaps have been filled with kolam powder to make the kolam appear complete.  The steps have been shown in the previous pic. We can add more decorations after filling up the colours.  I have added a few lines in yellow.
