Four Dots Kolam No : 3

This is called a Clover-flower kolam (கோலம்). This is one of the easiest of the four-dots grid kolams that I am in awe with. This especially looks good when filled with colors which is given in the next post.
As of now, look at the steps for drawing this one:


Step 1 / 7 : Put four dotted grid, having equal spaces in-between on a clean surface. 




Step 2 / 7 : Draw two " V " shaped lines facing or opposite to each other like this..

Step 3 / 7 : Similarly, draw two more " V " shaped lines in the other two directions, in  such a way that there are " V's " on all the directions.



Step 4 / 7 : Now draw one clover flower on any one corner like this one below...

Step 5 / 7 : Draw one more clover flower on any one corner like this one below...

Step 6 / 7 : Draw one more clover flower on any one corner like this one below...






Step 7 / 7 : Draw one more clover flower on the last corner remaining like this one below to complete the kolam.


Now please make this kolam more beautiful by filling colors (ரங்கோலி) in the spaces. See my next post for it. I made this on the last Diwali, and it was adorned with flowers and diyas (வேலகுகள்) to make an awesome welcome for my guests to enter my place on Diwali! Let me know if u have tried it already!
