Kollam...
  In India its a traditional practice to draw kollam in front of the house with rice flour as a welcome note as well as to feed small insects like ant.I took that as an inspiration and made this earring.

  • First make a round of about 1 cm wrapping around many layers,so that it will be strong.
  • Squeeze it to the square shape and almost like a diamond.
  • Make a loose coil and fix it in the middle.
  • Make four tear shapes with white in center and black as a border.
  • Stick the tears on the corners and attach the ear wire.
  • For this project I used 1/8" paper.
