Tie Dye Abstract Painting Silhouette of Women Unveiling the Vibrant Tapestry of African Women's Traditional Attire There's something truly captivating about the traditional dresses and national attires worn by the women of Africa. The kaleidoscope of colors woven into the fabric is not just beautiful; it's profoundly enchanting. It's a visual symphony that tells a unique story for every tribe, community, village, and country across the continent.

Every craft store, departmental store even pharmaceuticals are stocking all sorts of wool or knitting kits. I enjoy, both crocheting and Knitting, and at the moment, I'm getting ready for Art exhibitions in the month,of June and July respectively. The only way,to get my nerves down and relaxed, is crocheting cotton ropes into my favorite gift item, which is  the collapsible rope baskets.

It keeps me focused and renews my thought process by giving me a handle on my creative confusion! I really don't make a lot, because it gets a bit tiring and I then, go back to my Art again. ...
