Beads, beads, good for your heart...

Beads, beads, good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you… huh?

I’ve gone crazy for beads (if I wasn’t already crazy for them). I recently took a trip down to a coastal city called Durban which is in a province called Kwa-Zulu Natal, which basically means Zulu Kingdom, i.e. where my tribe (the Zulus) reign from.

Women make a living off of creating gorgeous beaded pieces which includes jewelry, crafts and other cool things. I found my heaven! I bought beaded sandals, bracelets and even a beaded spectacles holder (is that what it’s called?).

I thought I was good at making beaded art and such…Not after I saw the work that these women do. Every single bead is put on one by one, by hand, by candle light!

Can you spell M.E.T.I.C.U.L.O.U.S?
