Bone and ceramic beaded necklace, 'Laafi'
By Maribeth
I absolutely love this blue necklace.
I love this necklace. I spent a month in Rwanda and Uganda with a 2015 CNN Hero of the Year nominee I am helping to write his autobiography. Being a male, we never got close to jewelry. I fell in love with Rwanda and the traditional tribal dresses and skirts. I also craved jewelry. I have my beautiful necklace on right now. Its beautiful. I love everything about Africa and always have. Now that Ive been in two of the countries, my necklace means even more.
Wood beaded necklace, 'Desert Bird'

Africa! No TSA Pat down!
And I didnt even have to remove my shoes! The exquisite artistry strung in wooden beads speaks volumes of a vibrant culture. One can vicariously imagine the pulse of,say, a market on the outskirts of Accra where I might haggle good-naturedly over the price of her creation with Elizabeth Alorchie-Apetor! Africa travels well. kudos to the artisans of NOVICA!Thank You Elizabeth!John.
