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....

14 gauge wire wrapped with 16 gauge wire and turquoise beads

Until then.....Happy Creating!

The Suspense is Over

Those pieces of wire and tubing have finally become something... a Little bit of This and a Little bit of That....it was so much fun to create this piece. Can you identify where those pieces of wire and tubing ended up?

I used an old earring I bought at a second hand shop and a charm from a necklace that was wondering why I hadn't worn it for a while. I hope you're not disappointed. It looks great on my blue jean jacket.

Until then...Happy Beading!

What Will They Become?

It's just some wire....copper, sterling silver and brass tubing. Wonder what it will become. Sometimes what we picture in our minds doesn't always mean that's what you're going to end up with.

So far, I've made a headpin on one end of each of the copper wires, flattened it with a hammer and drilled a hole in each of the flattened headpins. I'm thinking of doing some riveting. I'm thinking of using the brass tubing between the two flattened headpins. I'm thinking........

Well, until then.....Happy Beading!
