Tibetan Folk Tales
Folk tales are an important component of the long and rich culture of Tibetan ethnic minority.  Most of their contents have connection with Tibetan Buddhism, because such religion has become part of the Tibetans' daily life.

tibetan monk beads necklace / tibetan monk crafts necklaces / sacred symbol mala / painted black animal symbols on tibetan bowls

I was just wandering if anyone could take a look at my beady bits and give me a bit of feedback, have just started out and could do with some, friends are all very positive but as you all know friends can sometimes be a little biased.

I haven't done any fairs or anything, but just had a leaflet through the door for a local table top sale. Will definately consider it. Would love to do a jewellery party but not quite sure how to go about it any suggestions would be appreciated.

I bought a beaded kit and have never done this before. I found it hard, but got the hang of it now. What a nightmare to make.

What do you think?

The pigments used in Thanka come from opaque minerals and plant dyes. In addition, some animal glues and cattle bile are added into the pigments according to specific proportions. In this way, the Thanka can last for several thousand years without any fading.

Its my MIL birthday on Sunday and have been racking my brain for something to get her. I have started to make crystals alongside my cards recently and so have been doing some research that shows that amongst others the birthstone for October seems to be amethyst. Would anyone have a nice bracelet or necklace in featuring amethyst which would be available for sale at all or could you make one? I would rather buy from one of you than search the net and find something a bit naff! I dont want to spend the earth we normally spend about ￡30 so if this is unrealistic please tell me as I have absolutely no idea! If its really expensive it can wait to be a gift idea for next year when she is 60.

Many thanks I know you will help me out if you can!

Most Thankas are drawn on cloth or paper. Special rite must be held for artistic monks or painters before they began their work on a selected auspicious day. The monk or painter recites sutras while preparing the materials. 

As my previous request was so successfully answered. I am now after a Tibetan gold plated charm for a builder. He is my local pub landlord at night ( I now have a barrel) but a builder during the day. He laid down a challenge at our last 'Bling Fling' that I couldn't come up with an earring for him. 

Any ideas on where to purchase would be most gratefully received. Buddha locket, gau prayer boxes.

I couldn't believe my luck. Loved the mantra rings too, might have to come back for those for his wife. Now if I can just find a turquoise malas or coral bracelet. Check out eyongs.com .

According to different materials, Thanka falls into two categories. One is made of silk and is called gos-thang; the other is achieved with pigment and is called bris-thang. Gos-thang can be divided into five sub-classes: gos-thang with embroidered portrait(s), gos-thang with silk surface, gos-thang made up of pasted silks, gos-thang woven by hands and gos-thang printed with moulding board. Bris-thang can be divided into five sub-classes: tsho-thang (background is multicolor), gser-thang (background is yellow), mtshal-thang (background is vermilion), he-thang (background is black) and dpar-thang (by method same as that of water printed). The subject matters of Thanka are much diversified, including religious themes, social history and life custom, and even astronomy, calendar and traditional Tibetan medicine.
