Weekly Challenge 114: With the Stars



For this week's challenge at I am the Diva CZT, I fell on an old standby, the South Indian kolam, which is very well suited for angular shapes like stars. The pattern I chose and modified is not a difficult one, but, did not turn out as well as I wanted to. I used calligraphy ink for drawing and because it does not dry quickly I ended up smudging some lines. However, with a regular micron pen you can get a  precisely and cleanly drawn zia. I will post one later when I have a little more time :)

Below are the steps to draw this kolam:
