Simplest Bangels

One year many years ago i found a abandoned book by the roadside , it was about a very young indian (as in from india) widow , in the city of widows , she was barley 12 years old , her husbands family had married her to her husband in an effort to use her dowry to find a cure for her younger dying husband. Then when he died they dropped her in the city of widows , she finds work making beaded bracelets , much as  i think of these  , before she eventually goes on to embroidering sari's  , she earns her independence at a mid age , all because she started making bracelets in her youth. I imagine they were much like these , simple and rustic. Baubles of Vanity and endearment.

I found myself so absorbed in the making of these that i didn't dwell on deeper thoughts too much. A welcome relief from my day to day drama.

Hair Ornaments




Posted by Picasa

I have been craving Copper against my skin , So I just grabbed copper and pliers & went at it . The tailed hoops are woven into the braids about halfway down my waist length hair , the spiral covers go mid to bottom on smaller side braids , i have a tendency to wear two thin braids at my ears and the rest up in a wild bun.

They were easy  , and the hint of red glass seemed to boost my mood , to give me fire to face the day. With the coils , i move them from the bottom of the braid upwards , then weave the coil ends THROUGH the braids much like bobby pins.

Many people asked about them when i went to sunday circus , and i got many compliments. These are hair accessories that seem to bring a type of bohemian sophistication to the table.
