Very nice work and pics. Pattu seems to have had a great time! A similar aanai vilaku is with my mom...there are no wheels though. I hope to get it from her some day:)

Nice work from Pattu :-). This is the first time I'm seeing Annai Villakku...very beautiful.

Uma said...

Hema - Thanks :) She did have a great time thumbing. We did a lot of messing about before making this one though. And do go and reserve the anai vilakku :)

Hema (malini) - she also wanted to stick a dead beetle on it, but I offered to draw one instead :)
I'm sure your mom will have the anai vilakku...chk with her.

No Uma, I know my mum doesn't have Anai vilakku :-(

Uma said...

Hema - ohh...will buy you one on your next visit...
