Kerala Jewellery

The name of this jewellery is called Paalaka. This is a jewellery that most Kerala women possess.

The jewellery has green enamel  and red stones. Have seen some in blue too. But predominantly green and red exists.

Today's Terracota jewellery workshop

Today when we had a workshop in Terracota jewellery making, we had 4 girls from Illinoi, U.S.

They were visiting India, and wanted to learn terracota.

Enjoyed teaching them.:) It is always nice to meet people from different parts of the world.

They sat on the floor like the rest of the students and made jewellery.

Kerala bride

I have been wanting to write about some jewellery that Keralites wear for their wedding. I will write about them later.

Kerala is a neighbour state to my state (Tamil Nadu) in South India.

The kerala brides wears jewellery right from close to her neck till her waist. It has always been like that.

Most of the jewellery are light weight though it looks heavy.

And there will be no gaps in between.

My friend who got married recently sent the photo that has been taken just before the wedding.

See how is she is decked with jewels and what a pretty bride.

Terracota jewellery

Been busy providing training on Terracota and quilling jewellery.

We had an informal training program on Terracota jewellery. We had an unexpected turnout of candidates and so we all had to take the floor.

It was fun and there was lot of interaction.
