polymer clay bangle.
one side is purple and pink the other in pink and turquoise : )
i admit its a bit more organic than my usual bangle design but im kinda taken with it (if only because it required sooooo much less sanding than say my zipper bangles)
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.
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
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.
Had an actual Day out. Yes, during the daytime. These photos were at home after the shopping, lunch, walk.
Self taken. I know my camera. I know my face.

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...
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.

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.

Shankha is a richly decorated bangle craft from slices of conch-shells. These traditional crafts are mainly used by Hindu women which symbolize that the Hindu woman is married. But the tradition of making "Shankha" is on the verge of distinction because of the heavy tax on the import of raw material for Shankha and the competition between the "Shankas" from Srilanka and India which made lot of Shakharees to change their occupation.
