The print in the background - the 'grey one with the loopy geometrical lines' is called 'kolam' and it is traditionally practiced in South India. Early in the morn - usually before sunrise - women wash/clean the space in front of their houses and make these patterns with rice flour. It is made freehand. The symbolism of using only rice flour is that - the ants can consume it. Today though chalk and coloured powders are also used to make really elaborate kolams esp. during festivals.

The contest is only open to residents of the US. Such a pity. The giveaways look fabulous. Since I'm in India and cannot enter the contest (sighhh) can I at least be in the reckoning for the book? Or at the very least get to d/l the mini-book? Win Sara Kate's 10 Favorites from Williams-Sonoma Thursday Giveaway |

I'm talking about the cost - because - i'm in India and a single tile would cost as much as a decent cell phone. How could i ever consider this product? BuzziSkin 3D Wall Tiles from Buzzispace |

That's always my grouse with 'green' products. I'm all for them - but they're always so expensive - how will they ever become mainstream. And if they don't become mainstream - they will never create change. And that is the need right? Or are manufacturers just jumping on the 'green' bandwagon - 'cos it's 'cool'/'in'?
