Meenakari Ear Danglers

Enamelled or Meenakari jewellery is always in fashion. Here are some ear danglers: 


A combination of black and white with small pearls goes well with any dress or sari, but more so with either white or black in colour.  They are easy on our pockets too. More in my next posts

Rangoli-236

Butterflies

Today is the Mukkoti Ekadashi an auspicious occasion when we pray to Lord Vishnu in different forms. So I could not post early.
Colourful butterflies flying from flower to flower fill our heats with happiness. Every day many butterflies visit my garden. This Rangoli is inspired by them.

21 dots-7 rows in the center, 19, 17,15...till 7 dots. Join as shown. The backgrounds of butterfly squares can aslo be filled with contrasting or complementing colours, like I did in the center square.

Bead Bracelet

Of late I have not been posting much especially on jewellery. I am too tired to go out into markets. Even if I go out I just manage to get the essentials. So my shopping for jewellery and bangles is getting postponed. With my left hand still in lot of pain, I am not able to do any craft, jewellery or embroidery either.

Hmm but being an artist my eyes and senses are attuned to the colour and creativity around me every where I go. I do have lots to share with you all. 

Here is one bracelet I came across. It is made of light weight beads on a twisted wire. The beads look like plastic? I am not sure may be wood?
It is real cool and popular with teens and young girls and boys.
