Don't you Just Love those Bangles?

No, not these Bangles........ although I do like this chick group...

These bangles.......

They are worn primarily by south Asian women in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, 



and have been excavated in several archeological sites throughout India.

They come in all kinds of.......

Shapes......

                
                                 Colors......
                           

                                                                                                              Widths.....                                                                                                                                                                                           

Mediums......

    

You can wear them singly...... or in multiples.......

Grouped or mixed with bracelets or watches......

They add movement to your arm.  When worn in multiples they may even jangle! 

No matter what medium you're interested in they are not only fun to wear but fun to create....

Until then.....Happy Creating!

Jewelry Affaire Magazine, Autumn 2012 and Winter 2013......REALLY???

Once again, I was thrilled  
(I just can't come up with another word....
anyone have a suggestion?) to be published in  the Autumn 2012 and Winter 2013 Jewelry Affaire magazines.


I wonder what their process is for selecting jewelry pieces for publication. 
I can't imagine it being an easy task. 



If you are so inclined, purchase  a copy of Jewelry Affaire magazine and become inspired by creative artists such as Kathy Menasco, and her Tattered Dream Cuffs (Winter 2013 issue);  Brooke VanDerzee,and her very French necklace "Magestically" (Autumn 2012); and Tina Shiefer,  and her Vintage Drift necklace (Winter 2013).

Until then......Happy Creating!!!
