Bangle sellers are we who bear
Our shining loads to the temple fair...
Who will buy these delicate, bright
Rainbow-tinted circles of light?
Lustrous tokens of radiant lives,
For happy daughters and happy wives.
Some are meet for a maiden's wrist,
Silver and blue as the mountain mist,
Some are flushed like the buds that dream
On the tranquil brow of a woodland stream,
Some are aglow wth the bloom that cleaves
To the limpid glory of new born leaves
Some are like fields of sunlit corn,
Meet for a bride on her bridal morn,
Some, like the flame of her marriage fire,
Or, rich with the hue of her heart's desire,
Tinkling, luminous, tender, and clear,
Like her bridal laughter and bridal tear.
Some are purple and gold flecked grey
For she who has journeyed through life midway,
Whose hands have cherished, whose love has blest,
And cradled fair sons on her faithful breast,
And serves her household in fruitful pride,
And worships the gods at her husband's side.

Honeycomb Bangles, designed by Cynthia Rutledge, published in Bead & Button April 2011. This bangle handmade by me using Miyuki delica, seed bead, Swarovski Pearl and Modar Chinese rondelle beads. Technique used are peyote and netting. Very easy to make. Thanks to Cynthia. I now know why it is so popular among my flickr friends. lol
this portal bangle is really something special: made of thick, forged sterling silver, it has some serious heft! along it's outer rim, there are four glowing, pale lavender chalcedony, as well as some hammered discs.
the inside of the bangle is inscribed with part of a poem written by edna st. vincent millay: "Yet there isn't a train I wouldn't take, no matter where it's going."
It's the end of my holidays, & on a whim I decided to take a Serious Look at all of my bangles. I hadn't realised that there were so many. Better start wearing them, I suppose.
I'm wearing as usual a completely thrifted outfit. I often set little Wardrobe Challenges for myself. Usually the challenge is about Pattern Mixing. I'm not sure if these two go together, but who cares? In the words of the Celebrity Window Dresser, Simon Doonan, 'Fashion Should be Funny'!

Took this picture in a bangle shop in Jaipur. They had so many different colors and types that it was incredible.
Jaipur, also popularly known as the Pink City, is the capital of Rajasthan state, India. Jaipur is the former capital of the princely state of Jaipur.
