Hey dolls,
I know am a bit late with this but i still hope you all had as much fun as I did
this Easter, which I spent with my family, lots of food, fun and laughter. I look forward to much more of that.
Throughout the past 3years I have
enjoyed seeing just how far I have come with my beading skills. I didn’t think
that at one point and time I will supply my items to stores like BVT and get to
be invited to so many wonderful events just because of my beading.
Over the past few months, I have been
keener on beads from West Africa, mostly the Handmade Recycled Glass Ghana
Trade beads. I got in touch with some dealers who operate from Ghana to
Kenya and I fell in love with the beads ever since.
The process includes recycling glass
which is done by the people of Krobo in Ghana. One of the dealer explained to me that the beads are
put through fire twice, before and after being hand painted hence making the paintings
on the beads permanent, hence no worries about fading jewelry. Making the
Recycled Glass Ghana Trade Beads amazing beads to create your fine
jewelry with.
I used this green glass bead with
orange and yellow hand painted details on it to make this very tribal statement
neckpiece and used brass pendants and brass wire to join the beads together. It
is available in the BVT store and goes for Ksh3000.
Look out for more posts on beads and beading:)
