A Glorious Moonlit Night
~ Whitney Fong
It was upon a glorious moonlit night,
When my eyes first beheld your eyes.
Despite the latest hour of twilight,
Light from the heavens shown done to my surprise.
A fitting beam for such a divine angel,
With shining blond hair and handsome smile.
Could this prosper? Only time could tell.
You placed your hand in mine and we stayed a while.
Not a sound nor descent of sky,
Could distract me from your charming ways.
We strolled 'till the moon was no longer nigh,
If this is all but a reverie, don't wake me from this phase.
For to me love was once not conceived,
But upon this glorious moonlit night, I believe.

I think that moonlit nights are so, so romantic and give us the the chance to express our desires, especially the ones which come from the bottom of our heart and soul..
So, another week theme challenge jewel - nocturnal. I wanted to create a very intricate bangle based on dark colours, apart from the central part, the moon.
I used meters of sterling silver wire in different gauges and many silver beads of different sizes.
In the middle I've put 2 white agate faceted teardrops - the moon - with a frame of silver squared beads and tiny labradorite rondelles. Immediately after the "moon" there are 2 wonderful faceted lapis lazuli round beads with a frame of tiny dark amethyst round beads.
At the end of the bangle I used two amazing peacock round button pearls.
This bangle is 7.87 inches long - clasp included - and it was made with lot, lot of love!
Hand felted bangle rolled from soft merino wool and embellished with tencel rivulets, delicate free-form beadwork, and stunning red poppies, which add a dramatic touch of color.
Formed entirely by hand, this bangle is adorned with slabs of watermelon tourmaline, placed in a mosaic pattern. It is reinforced with a thick, fine silver wire backing, and pinned down with hand-wrapped wire coils. There are numerous thai silver 5-petal flowers with centers of pink and green tourmaline gemstone beads. My most intricately designed project which took approximately 22 hours to complete

I’ve been always fascinated by art and especially by Impressionism and Art Nouveau artists, such as Klimt. I love his paintings, his choices of colours and of forms and I’ve been deeply influenced by his art in creating this bangle - inspired by Eni Oken’s tutorial (www.enioken.com) – full of warm colour beads: 4 polymer clay beads, glossy and dull crystals, silver beads and many, many meters of 925 silver wire. Handmade hooked clasp. It is 20 cm long.
'kheta' was her name, my model in the village of ludia. she was in her late-teens, prompt 'n bold, a perfect one. i never needed to ask for a pose! but she will make sure for additional money with every click! this is how i found her, looking at me while clicking.
she was from a harijan family, hence their two huts were build far apart from the others, they all served us with great hospitality, despite of their poverty. it was one of the finest moment photographing and we had their own menu for dinner, very tasty.

the 2 loops on this bangle move freely. I'm still debating whether or not to add a glaze. I kind of like it dull as it is.
Staring into the sunset he sent to me, as I do every evening no matter where I am in the world.
Knowing that somewhere, many hours ago, he was staring into this very same sunset and bidding it to make its journey to me.
It is our ritual, for years now, to whisper our love upon the setting sun, and to send it with haste that the other would know we are still out there somewhere...

Bangles are carried lie this by street-sellers through residential areas, markets and trains. A much better way of reaching customers than a fixed shop.
Also worth noting is that some plastic and glass that comes to Dharavi for recycling ends up being made into bangles – though its more the collection, sorting and cleaning that happens here with further production taking place elsewhere.

There were many ladies selling bangles to the visiting sikh ladies. Doesn’t India have the glass bangles? But of course these are the bangles from Pakistan.
