I have always loved handicrafts and was really inspired when
I visited Ngwenya Glass in Swaziland. Visitors get the opportunity to see glass
being blown to various shapes. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to witness this as I
visited on a Saturday and the factory was closed. I love trinkets, and Ngwenya Glass is flooded
with them. I was not able to buy anything as I was in the company of my
husband, you know the deal L.
There are other crafts shops that sell non-glass items. I’m
a tree-hugger and I was enthralled by one shop that had jewelry made from
glossy magazine pages hardened by vanish paint. I thought everything there was
really unique, though I don’t think I would want to wear any of it. Nothing
really screamed my name. I do very good cross stitch, even if I say so myself,
and the crafts I saw made me want to revive my hobby. Watch this space and you
will see what I can do. Enjoy the pics!
