Faced with turning old canes into mud, I remembered Donna Kato's "what you have" kaleidoscope cane. Didn't make a kaliedoscope though. See cane in the making: flic.kr/p/cjFR3d
For the Challenge of august: a Bangle!
Made from premo (polymerclay), it contains no metal, it is massive made from clay.
Mokume gane, I called it Ilsy Poppins, because the technique of mokume gane reminds me of the carpet-bag of Mary Poppins....everytime the comes a surprise :)
This is a bangle made for The Wire Artisans Guild challenge Stardust and our great re-opening of our Etsy team store on Valentines day.
The movie Stardust begins and ends with the beautiful Lady Una living in the magical world of Fairie. Lady Una is kept as a slave for Madame Semele. She gives birth to the main character, Tristan, but has to leave him to his father who lives in "the real world". Lady Una is very much a charachter in the background, but the end of the movie reveals her well kept secret.
The colours of Lady Unas teal dress and the yellow/red carriage of Madame Semele (Ditchwater Sal) inspired me to make this bangle.
The bangle and focal, together form a clasp. You can see on the last image how to open and close the bangle. The trick is to angle the focal.
Material:
925 sterling silver and 999 fine silver wire and findings. Alex topaz briolettes (heat treated), ruby leaves and rondelles, citrine briolette and smooth rondelles and white cultured white fresh water pearls. Oxidized and tumbled to a nice shine.
Size:
The bangle fits an arm between 6"-7"/15-17cm. It moves around a bit on a smaller arm.
Taken at Pondy Bazaar during the 8th Chennai Photowalk. The place was at its cluttered best on Sunday evening, with shoppers and traffic jams galore.
En esta ocasion vuelvo a repetir modelo con una pequeña diferencia, he añadido unas bolitas de 8 mm gracias a Charrarosa que ha hecho un estupendo trabajo.
This is a series of brass channel bangles with polymer clay, painted with alcohol inks, and striped canes added.
This pair is jewel toned, but thinner than the other ones...
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.
