Bangles or Chudi, as they are called in Hindi, form an integral part of Indian women's attire. These are made from many different materials like glass, laad, copper and even with silver and gold (for those few who can afford gold these days :D). and are often studded with various kinds of stones. Bangles are so popular in India that they can be found in virtually every city and village. Many of the big cities have complete markets dedicated to selling bangles.

The pictures was shot at the Laad Bazaar at Hyderabad.

this bangle is a portal; a subtle tear in time and space, an aperture of imagination....

let your body be the conduit! wear it and you can feel its weight, jangling on your wrist, resting on the top of your hand. touch the inside of the portal and you will discover a secret message, a poetical talisman for you and you alone! travel to the tips of your cortex, envision the ends of the earth --

be a beam of light.

It is tradition that the bride will try to wear as many small glass bangles as possible at her wedding and the honeymoon will end when the last bangle breaks.

Chooda is a kind of bangle that is worn by Punjabi women on her wedding day. It is a set of white and red bangles with stone work.

Bangles, lots and lots of them - A woman's delight, and a man's nightmare. To all the women folk - no hard feelings. :-)

next take a little more of the softened clay and working in the direction you will be scraping (ie if for example you are recreating hair you would want to scrape following the lines of the hair.) begin to scrape the clay over the surface of the bangle...kinda like buttering bread

(here i have spread the clay over the lower part of the design)

Fiji Emporium on N. Interstate Avenue in Portland is where Frank shops for spices and ingredients for his Indian dishes. It's like a visit to South Asia minus the jet lag.
