Rangoli , a necklace based on the traditional folk art

  “Rangoli” – the other word for Kolam,  is the name I have chosen for this necklace .  Since it is made to symbolize   festivities , I have chosen a multicolor palette . Bold , bright colors  to bring forth a spirit of  joy , happiness and prosperity associated with this art form . The focal  pendant, with red , blue , yellow glass beads  , in my mind depict  the perfectly symmetrical  pattern  of a geometric  rangoli with the circle as the basic form .

 The freeform  necklace , in copper  wire , emulates  the  flowing curves and lines found in the free-hand rangolis . I have added  few splashes of color to  break the monotony of the plain lines . Don’t miss out the two  tiny rangolis in a square  and diamond form which add a glitzy look to the necklace ! 

I have entered this necklace as my entry for the "Bead Peeps BNB Challenge 17" , which is on facebook at the following link here .   Do take a look at what everyone created for this challenge.
