Silk Bangles in pretty pink

A month has gone by with no post :(  Recently, my  interest seems to be drifting slowly towards silk..silk..silk..and mention not,  sarees.  I've become a big fan of this traditional 6 yard garment and look for every opportunity to wear it :) (and also buy it..sssshh..secret !!)

As mentioned earlier, the first and foremost thing after a new saree comes into my wardrobe is to make a pair of matching silk bangles...Here comes my latest set..Pretty pink and golden yellow..Again, no extra embellishments..just a simple checker design with two colours..

Eagerly waiting for an opportunity to wear this..

Yet another bangles set

I'm obsessed with sarees these days and as soon as a new saree enters my wardrobe, even before I get the other formalities done (blouse etc), I take out the bangles and matching silk threads and starts making the bangles..It's so fun..

As this one is for a silk saree, I though of adding some embellishments and here comes my new pair of red-orange silk bangle set :)
It's been more than a month and I've already wore these twice, before I took pics and add this post..lazy me ;)

Another silk bangles set

March shouldn't just go without a post..Right? Here is a pair of bangles that I've made in January, but kept postponing to put in blog - as I wanted to take better pics..Looks like I'm not going to do that anymore.

This time, I've used the checker pattern, where in the yellow thread is weaved against the outer blue thread, giving a pattern. I've not used any embellishments; This goes with a plain cotton saree and gives a simple look, which I love the most :)

Multi color silk bangles

                                                 
Yet another silk thread project. This time, it is a pair of multi colored bangles. My maternal aunt has asked me to make a pair for her. But, I'm not sure which color will go with her clothes..So, decided to make a multi-coloured one and here it goes...One is made while I was on the way to my home town..crazy me :)

Silk thread accessories - 3

Another project on silk accessories.. so far, I've been trying to use the things from my mom's sewing kit. It's time to buy brand new and other color threads other required raw material...But, as you know, I'm too lazy to shop and the prices in Amazon were not so convincing to me..Then, came an opportunity when my DH & mom-in-law were out of town for 4 days and I have no choice, but to take off from work..that too on Thursday and Friday...What else do I need?
On Thursday, I picked my son from school (which he loves the most when I'm not going to work) and went straight to a (so called very famous) stationary shop to check if I can buy the things I need... I was very much disappointed to see the limited collection they've..so, picked just 3 threads & jhumka base and came home...

Started making all these stuff with the limited stuff I bought and they were so addictive that I can't stop making these for two days.. I had to stop on the third day as my eyes were hurting a lot..But anyways, good stuff to start with..

Silk accessories

Here is my second silk jewellery project..The shine & brightness of the threads is something that is keeping me to this craft and pollute this blog again.. Unlike my earlier project, I used cris-cross sewing of two threads for this. Again, my laziness still remain and didn't give an attempt to go to shop and buy brand new threads..still using 10 year old threads from my mom's sewing kit..

Silk Bangles

This blog was originally started as a journal for my quilling projects. In between I side track and lays my hands on other activities too (like pencil shading, clay jewellery) and pollute this blog ;)
One more to this non-quilling projects list - Yup...something I wanted to try for a long time, but kept postponing..Finally, got some time on one fine winter weekend..My wedding anniversary is approaching and I wanted to make something matching for this occasion. But, you know, as always I'm too lazy to go out and shop for required materials.. Luckily I found this pretty pink color silk bangle in my tailoring kit and waited no time..It turned out to be good..Since the sari I'm wearing has a silver border, paired up this with a lace of silver beads.

 the outer pair of thin bangles were just a trial with a contrast color..
