Charm of the Kolaveri necklace

Why this kolaveri Kolaveri Kolaveri di….????

If you havent heard this song or atleast this phrase then that means that you are totally out of sync with the virtual/music world. Written and sung by Dhanush, this is a song is from the upcoming movie “3” which is directed by his wife Aishwarya Rajnikanth Dhanush. When it was launched in Youtube it went viral (more than 12 million hits) and it was played on MTV for 3 days as top song. Though this is a Tamil movie song, the lyrics are completely in broken English, facilitating its acceptance all over the world.
 Kolaveri – translated simply means a murderous rage or even hell bent passion, or a compulsive desire to irritate

When I heard it first, I dint like it, but slowly I started humming it as it was so catchy. It has became such a big hit that an entire blog is dedicated to this song
 Only the first video in that blog is the original, everything else is a dedication and they are all so funny. The words absolutely make no sense, but given the fact that over half the people in this world cannot speak fluent English, its caught the fancy of many.

The productions house hasn’t launched any merchandise but most big brands like Urban dictionary are catching on this trend, making merchandise out of it (mostly for men). Looking at all those Tshirts,blaming women for love failure, I had this kolaveri to make a Womenswear version. Thus was born the Kolveri Necklace – Made from Scrabble tiles… :D.

For Sale

The Philosophy of the necklace is simple as derived from the song with is strung together with basic words sometimes gibberish (like soup song) to make a song. Here I used applied the concept to using individual letters (tiles) to make not just a word, but also a statement.
There is a tutorial on its way for this necklace
 Then as I was in the mood for charm necklaces I also made another one. This time a totally contrasting, very classic and elegant piece, with (Filipino) Opal shell charms

Adding charms is very easy if the charm has a loop on it. Just open up a jump ring and attach the charm to the chain at fixed intervals.
Can you believe that these charms have been sitting idle in my stash for the last 10 months and the minute I made the necklace and put it up on facebook it got sold….So much for the wait…!! As my Dad puts it I guess everything has its own time and place…

Cheers
