This is so wonderfully clever. I love the simplicity of the figures and the complexity of the dual hoops, the dimension with the reins and the doll arm added to the figure of the woman. Just a fantastic idea and beautiful execution.

Finished!

Ah, the satisfaction of a job well done. Did I mention that I completely burned and destroyed one attempt at a bracelet? A poor job on my part. Luckily I was able to save and reuse the brass bangle. It also gave me a reason to clean my oven quite thoroughly.

Nonetheless, the bangles are complete and are for sale on Etsy. I may start another set soon!

I found this on Flickr and marked it as a fave - the colors, the pattern, everything is simply beautiful. Delicious even!

Bundle of Bangles

I made these about a month ago using brass bangle blanks and polymer clay. I start by covering the channel with a very thin layer of polymer clay and then I carefully layer each dot until the full bangle is covered. The trick is gradiating the color from the deepest purple to the lavender but I think I did a fairly good job.
