My African jewellery on ww.etsy.com



                                       Hello, dear friends.

As I am getting on in life and have to settle for calmer pursuits, I started to fall back on my crafting days and embarked on a new Africa loving venture.
Taking as my inspiration the vivid colors, the bold patterns and the cheerfulness of the local people, as well as their traditions in making and wearing body adornments, I created a few pieces of "African" jewelry myself. People liked what they saw and I really and to me almost unbelievably got some orders. Being encouraged, I opened my own shop on www.etsy.com and would like you to have the opportunity to view my humble creations on my own blog platform as well.
My link to this shop in, what I call a respected global shopping mall for handcrafted items, the mall of Etsy is:

Some of the products on my 'shelves' I herewith present to you and would really appreciate your feedback in any good old way.




......inspired by vibrant colours and patterns of ZULU tribes


In a short while there will be porcupine quill jewelry in my etsy shop!

  2. I was just searching for this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, finally I got it in your site. I wonder what's the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Usually the top websites are full of garbage.

  3. Have you ever thought about writing an e-book or guest authoring on other blogs? I have a blog centered on the same subjects you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my viewers would appreciate your work.
