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.
This is a series of brass channel bangles with polymer clay, painted with alcohol inks, and striped canes added.
This pair looks beachy to me...greens and blues

Bangles, lots and lots of them - A woman's delight, and a man's nightmare. To all the women folk - no hard feelings. :-)
Shot Just outside the Bull Temple at Basavangudi, Bangalore.
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)

Bangles are part of traditional Indian jewellery, worn by women after marriage to signify matrimony. 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. According to tradition, a woman is not supposed to buy the bangles she will wear.
They are circular in shape, and, unlike bracelets, are not flexible. The word is derived from Hindi bungri (glass). They are made of numerous precious as well as non-precious materials such as gold, silver, platinum, glass, wood, ferrous metals, plastic, etc.
They are usually worn in pairs , one or more on each arm. Most Indian women prefer wearing either gold or glass bangles or combination of both. Inexpensive bangles made from plastic are slowly replacing those made by glass, but the ones made of glass are still preferred at traditional occasions such as marriages and on festivals.
The designs range from simple to intricate handmade designs, often studded with precious and semi-precious stones such as diamonds, gems and pearls. Sets of expensive bangles made of gold and silver make a jingling sound. The imitation jewelry, tend to make a tinny sound when jingled.
