I was given Indus Valley for my historical period. The Indus Valley produced beads for trade from shell, stone, clay, and metal -- they have even found beads of wrapped copper wire with silk fiber inside!

Sorry this is late and so few bangles, I'm claiming it as a "senior moment" and sticking to it. Thank you, and apologies, to Leah at The Beady Eyed Bunny
i love the magenta one :)
ReplyDeleteMagenta one super cool!
ReplyDeleteYou truly create beautiful designs, and I figure better late than never, right?
ReplyDeleteGreat kumihimo's, and the fabric bangle is gorgeous.
The fibre looks so soft, they must be a pleasure to wear as well as to admire!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. The magenta is all from my box of scraps and a piece of junk jewelry. It's a wide bangle, wrapped in quilt batting and then silk organza, all held together with decorative thread. It's the quilt batting that gives it that soft, squishy look.
ReplyDeleteLove these!!
