Yesterday this brown paper parcel arrived. It was trussed in strong, sisal string for the long journey from a deeply rural part of KwaZulu Natal in South Africa. It was so beautifully tied up that I didn't want to cut the string! I only held off long enough to take some photos. Oh...the anticipation when I get a parcel of Zulu beaded jewelry, especially from a new group. And this is a group with a huge story. I'm very exctied to start a relationship with them.
Delightedly, I unpacked glittering beaded eggs woven on copper wire, exqusite copper wire and bead blowls and the most exciting bracelets I've seen from South Africa. But, you'll have to wait till I get them photographed and put p on my web site!
