BNB17 Kolam Jewelry competition

Kolam Jewelry competition
There is an Indian saying on generosity which when translated means “Give to others what you want for yourself – Only the Best” so when the time came for me to host a jewelry challenge, I wanted to give Kolam Jewelry as the topic as I have been meaning to do a collection on it for a long time now.
When I wrote the first post on kolam, there were many queries regarding color, patterns, motifs. Even then I didnt imagine that I will get a super fabulous response such as this one. Each entry is spectacular in its own right and together they represent a really great perspective on this traditional art form. I am thankful that I am not judging this contest (it is done through votes – so please vote for them) but I do have my favourites (Secret!). But First let me share all the Kolam Jewelry competition entries here – Click on the title to read more about each piece.

    Thanks for providing chance to participate Divya. Challenges really help to learn new techniques and designing in different manners. It was a new experiment and fun to create using many colors together.

    Well done Divya! The challenge was an exciting one with each entries truly, truly, beautiful . And as one of the participants, I enjoyed every minute of it . The interpretations and ideas were really fabulous and the best part was viewing what other participants came up with . The most exciting time for me was the waiting for the unveiling of all the entries as they were uploaded one by one . A big Thank You, to you and Bead Peeps for hosting this challenge!!

    I am glad that I got such a good response for this theme; it was really interesting to such different perspectives. I loved the beaded beads that you can made. Your focal reminded me of a Onam – Pookolam!
