Title :I am beautiful; I am green

When I saw the contest requirements, this unique design came from my heart.  This pair of Chandelier earrings is very stylish & contemporary with Indian touch.  Here is my work drawn from the imagination of magnificent glories of Lord Krishna symbolized by his iconic peacock feather. The final product is a fusion of this feather on a hand crafted wire work embellished with acrylic beads.

Materials used à

·        feathers – Upcycled pet plastic bottle, hand-printed using mix media technique

·        Wire work with white and blue acrylic beads

Approach followed à

I first imagined and designed the complete work on a piece of paper (can be seen on the bottom right of the image).  Then, I realized this creation.

Title: "Sameera"
I have used 18-gauge copper wire to create the forms of the earrings. The curvy frames were fashioned using wire then hand forged and polished. Tiny dyed red coral beads were coiled onto thinner 26-gauge copper wire to create a burst of colour. Svarovski crystal beads in various hues of purple dangle from the center of the frame to add sparkle. The curved frames are attached to each other using hand-made copper jump rings to give them that fluidity. A heart shaped connector has been used to attach jump rings to the frames and the hand made and forged copper ear wires are the final cog in the wheel which brings  the chandelier earring together. It is a lovely coming together of rustic copper wire, vivid coral beads and sparkly crystals, which completes Sameera.

From design on paper to completion of piece took about 4-5 joyful creative hours. Trimadhura is the dream of 3 sisters living in different parts of the globe, who share a deep love of handmade creations that have a unique appeal. This love of beauty which links many of us together makes us appreciate this initiative of Handmade 'N' Beyond. The inspiration is Trimadhura's love to create handmade items.

9. CraftsAndCandies

Title: Ethnic fuscia

The earring is based on a concept. I have done the base stud resembling sun and moon, which means both men and women have a equal footage in our society. The stud is the symbolic representation of it. The stud is followed by two peacocks with their feathers open, meaning the wings already exists for us, all we got to do is just open a feathers and fly/dance. The chandelier pattern is made from the shape of mango ended with a red bead. I wanted to add Indian touch to it, with modern colours so for this ethnic design I have used bright combinations such as yellow and grey, peacock blue, onion pink and ultramarine blue and finally bright yellow and blue for the mango. That is reason behind the title “ethnic fuscia”.
The medium I have used is clay with beads and stones. I have painted the earring with acrylic paint. Total time taken for it right is approximately 8 hours and my inspiration to take part in this contest.

Married Hindu women put Sindoor ( Vermillion) in parting of their hair as sign of marriage.There is No festive ritual complete witout the use of Sindoor. This colour is Favourite of Goddess Durga who stands for Shakti ( Power). As its festival season coming in for Indians , I was inspired to take the colour that symbolize it. So I have used Red & gold as these represent colours of our festival.

 I have put multiple lines of crystal using metal links in a diamond shaped brass plate with holes punched in it. Another metal link is used to complete the top of earring using textured acrylic metal coated bead.Gold polished Hook is used for hanging.

 It takes 25 minutes to make this pair of earrings. I have used Red glass crystal beads, Textured Acrylic metal coated  beads, Punched brass metal plates, Gold polished Hook and links.
