Sculpture
The ART of Natural Hair African Venus” was created by the sculptor Charles Henri Joseph Cordier in bronze in 1851. The sculpture was created as a companion piece to an earlier work created by Charles Cordier entitled “Said Abdullah of the Mayac, Kingdom of the Darfur”. The model was a young African woman by the name of Seïd Enkess who was a former slave in France. Both busts became popular after France abolished slavery in 1848. Charles Cordier himself was sympathetic to the abolitionist movement and believed in the beauty and equality of all races.

Sonia's Jewelry Box



recycled  beads from Sonia's old jewelry

Let me tell you something about Sonia.  She is an Accessory Diva. She wears fly clothing all the time. Good at mixing and matching up her stuff.  Walking advertisment for me, for sure.  She wears some of the most exotic, cultural, one of a kind jewelry, than anyone I know.  Why?  Because she buys handmade.  She supports artisans to assure she's wearing original.  Um huh, child!  Just look inside her jewelry box. 
What will you see? C-R-E-A-T-I-V-I-T-Y!

She's always turning  heads (ask her husband)  as she's, without choice, giving a history to the pieces  that she wears for that stranger admiring her from afar and asking, "where did you get that"?    Her husband gripes, "if one more person asks you about your jewelry, I 'm gonna..........! WATCH OUT SOMEBODY before you get P- Wowed!  LOL!!!!!!

What does that tell you people?  BUY HANDMADE!

If you like one of a kind items, then you'll surely find it from someone who hand creates. Artisans invest so much time and so much love, in what they do. If you don't know, you had better ask Sonia.

And for those of you who need walking advertisement?  Well, call Sonia.  If she likes it, you're a winner because someone will call  asking to purchase one of  what she was wearing.  Forgetting that it's original.  One of a kind. But gaining because they will surely find something else they'll love just as much as what they saw Sonia wearing.  You win too, a profit.  Keeping the green in our own village. Thats what it's all about.

Contact Sonia at Sisterslocked@gmail.com for tips on buying original.  (The Who's & Where  )

Peace, Love & Blessings
