Kolams of Southern India

'Slides' from a talk I gave on kolams, which are line drawings (created with white powder) that can be found at the thresholds of homes in South India. The talk had to do with a new way of creating kolams.

Why did DreamWorks Animation want a talk about kolams? I wish DreamWorks would make a film about India instead of "monsters vs aliens" nonsense

Hi, this is a personal project, not related to DreamWorks' movies :) But you're right, a movie about India would be cool.

It looks nice.I haven`t been in India but I love the handcrafts, colors and textiles which are produced there. I made some handcrafts inspired in an Asiatic pattern. I hope you like it.
