A detail shot of the Libertas bangle. The spines look deadly and they are deadly-- as deadly as a koosh ball.
(I am reminded of the Monty Python skit where the Spanish Inquisitors torment somebody by making them sit in the 'comfy chair'. They then poke the person with a cushion to no effect and Michael Palin asks the torturers if they are sure that all the stuffing is pushed up into the corner.)

I pick the roses just before they're going to be looking sad, or if someone gives me roses, just as they wilt... and dry them... then when I want to decoupage with rose petals, I just re-hydrate them by soaking in hot water for a couple hours, lay on paper towels and let dry til just barely amp, and decoupage as usual... covered a piece of cardboard I'll use for some kind of background eventually, a large wooden bead and made a bangle bracelet by covering cardboard tape spool... pretty durable.. packaging tape I use to ship eBay stuff comes on them... got tons of them saved !

Fireglow cane was originally a kaleidoscope cane but I didn't like it. It succumbed to something like the Stroppel cane treatment.
The Bangle-sellers
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 with 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.
- excerpt from Sarojini Naidu's 'The Bangle Sellers'
तीज is a fasting festival for married Hindu women.
Dedicated to the Goddess Parvati, commemorating her union with Lord Shiva, the festival is celebrated for marital bliss, well-being of spouse and children and purification of own body and soul.
The festival is a three-day-long celebration that combines sumptuous feasts as well as rigid fasting. A day before this festival is celebrated as Sinjara wherein girls/ladies put on mehandi on their hands.

What caught my attention was two different culture women sharing same passion. Bangle seller is Muslim Lady and other one is a Rajasthani Lady.
This is a sterling silver wire wrapped bangle incorporating a lovely aquamarine stone. The delicately coloured aquamarine sits in a silver cage surrounded by spirals which also run alond the edges of the bangle. This bangle used several feet of sterling silver wire and fastens with a simple hook clasp.
Bangles or churi ( Hindi:चूड़ी (Choodi), Bengali: চুড়ি (churi), Urdu: چوڑیاں are traditional ornaments worn mostly by South Asian women in India and Bangladesh, especially Hindus.
Another project inspired by Rachel Nelson Smith’s work. I saw a picture of her See Star Bangle on her site last spring and was fell in love with it! I devised my own way of constructing it and choose colors bright corally colors mixed with a matte beige – cream color that brings out the shine in the coral colored beads. Copper colored seed beads at the tips of the spikes give a nice closure to the piece.
It is made of hundreds of tiny glass seed beads and countless hours of endless stitching but who cares; it was great fun! I am sure you will enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoyed creating it!
