A set of three gray felt bangles, each decorated with bands of colored beads. The contrast between the muted , soft felt and the bright, shiny beads makes these bracelets stand out.
A flower seller carries her basket to a nearby friend's house where she stores left over garlands from the previous day. The flowers are wrapped in large leaves when sold.
Made for a Bead Buddies Forum colour challenge.
Based on Natalia Garcia de Leaniz' "funky desert bangle" workshop I took last year.

Coolpix 8800 Bangles (Hindi: Kangan) (Tamil: Valayal) (Telugu: Gaaju) or Chudi are ornaments worn mainly by women. Indian women, especially Hindus, wear them after their marriage signifying the matrimony.
They are circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. The word is derived from Hindi bungri (glass).

Bangles are traditional ornaments worn mostly by South Asian women in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is a common tradition to see a new bride wearing glass bangles at her wedding and the honeymoon will end when the last bangle breaks. Bangles also have a very traditional value in Hinduism and it is considered inauspicious to be bare armed for a married woman. Toddler to older woman could wear bangles based on the type of bangles.
Some men wear a single bangle on the arm or wrist called kada or kara.
Hyderabad, Pakistan, is the world's largest producer of Bangles. While Moradabad is India's largest producer of bangles.

Pushkar is inundated with tourists and Pilrims in the the month of Kartika for the full moon. Hindus believe that bathing in the lake this aprticular day will absolve them of all of their sins. Simultaneously a huge week long Camel fair (Pushkar Mela) is held attracting nomads and herders from across rajasthan, after the serious business of negotiating over and selling live stock is over usually by the middle of the week most people have a few extra rupees to spare this is when the fun happens camel racing dance performances fairground rides and shopping all of which adds up to a somewhat carnivalesque type of situation which is a joy to be part of.
I forgot to add a caption to this :-)
These are my Dorothy Perkins bangles. I bought them last September, on the day I first fully-dressed at home, and wore them that evening. Since then I have worn them pretty much every time I have dressed since; they seem to go with pretty much anything, and I love the feel and sound of them.
Go back through my pictures; you'll see them if you look.
The only time I can remember not wearing them is for Magic Theatre in March; I wore different bangles then, and a lot more of them :-)
Not only a gorgeous decoupage wood bangle but a tiny work of art.
The bangle has altered images of Audrey Hepburn covered with 14k gold leaf. Vernish coated for sheen and protection.
The six wooden cards are connected by Swarovski crystals in jet black.
Lightweight and eco friendly. My decoupage jewelry are water resistant but not waterproof.
This is an handcrafted unique piece of design.
Bangles made with recycled copper wire (left over from a construction project). After soldering and shaping, the bangles were textured with steel stamps and then treated with liver of sulfur. A light sanding with a fine grit sanding block highlights the textures. Various wire wrapped beads dangle.
This is actually a scientific (sort of) comparison; Same cane on different backgrounds; left, on a dark red background, right on white; right is also 'deeply cured'; deliberately burnt.
Doesn't affect the strength, apparently
A combination of the Snowflake Jade tutorial and the Mosaic Cane Bangle Bracelet tutorial--see my profile for details
I wanted to make a bangle with neon-yellow....but that is not really my tint of yellow.....so combination with grey-like-brown and a great shade of olive-gold :)
(my inspiration-photo was this: www.flickr.com/photos/rawfishdesigns/5860354592/in/faves-...
Now I can wear the neon-yellow it as an eye-catcher :) with my own colors
For the photo I waited until the sun came out.....but I forgot that februari only has 28 days......sooooooo that is why I made the photo with a flash :)
Ps: I meant the bracelet to be asymmetric, so the inner circle is just out of the middlepoint.
Even this shape wears surprisingly good :)
