My polished amber ultem large mangas set came in from Aroundsquare today. Put them on my favorite gutted 550 paracord and I am absolutely in love. So light but still play so well, and such a satisfying clack!
These are my three current go-to/edc sets overall, I think. A copper set from Butterfield, a monkey's fist set with .5" steel ball bearing cores, and an adjustable komboloi/mala with 12mm and 8mm stainless steel beads. All using rust diamond 550 paracord. I wear the mala as a bracelet and also usually throw a chetki in my pocket too.
A few of my favorite sets that I've tied or strung up recently. The cylindrical beads I purchased (and there are two smaller beads seated inside both ends to add some weight), and the other beads I had left over from other projects I've worked on recently. Loving the color and pattern on the rust diamond paracord especially.
Hello all!
I got a new shirt and it is exceedingly comfortable. It's full cotton and extremely soft. I currently only have a Nehru collar vest to try it with, so went with that, but hope to get a different style soon. Not sure how I feel about this turban material choice with it. It's dyed indigo and one of my favorites for hotter weather, but as far as pairing it with the shirt? I like it, but I don't know if I love it. Will probably try it with some solid darker colors tomorrow when I go out.
Also a first for me, I tied a bandana into a neckerchief and clasped it with a turquoise ring. I love it so far and am going to experiment with other neckerchiefs/materials/rings.
Favorite pair of jeans for pants (sorry they got cut off, I hope to have a full body mirror up soon for future fit pics.
Threw in a pocket watch in the vest pocket for the chain.
Pardon the clutter, the space also serves as a crafting and storage area lol
Got a little fancy for a work related party/function thing. This is one of my favs so far I think. Black harem pants, midnight/navy blue bespoke chikankari kurta and nehru vest, full voile navy parna (turban) material, and the shawl/scarf/dupatta is actually one of my smaller turbans that I don't wear on my head all too often (wish I had the time to fix some of the wrinkles though lol) Big fan of blues.
Hello all! First post here, hope I'm doing it right!
I love everyone's posts and styles so far and look forward to seeing and sharing more.
I'm a non-binary/genderfluid Sikh living in Texas, pronouns are they/them or she/them.
I threw together a few things for a some errands and an appointment I had. It was hot and sunny where I am, so I went with some lighter colors since I prefer long sleeves and layers, and just happened to be able to match my turban with the shirt. Shirts with a lace in front and Nehru collared vests/jackets are some of my favs, especially with baggy harem pants (which I admit can't really be seen here well, apologies) or maxi skirts. Anywho, wanted to share, and will post other combos soon. Be well!
Figured I'd post these here. Been playing around with begleri for a few months. Just made/re-made my first set using steel fishing weights and black paracord that can double as a bracelet with an adjustable loop. And another non-bracelet set with orange paracord monkey fists around steel ball bearings. First time tying something like the orange set, so not perfect, but they work well and play well so far.
