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.

Carol Eisenstein - The Quilt Artisan
Women have been creating exquisite quilted masterpieces since the mid-1800's. Quilts are an expression of frugality. They not only serve a practical, functional purpose, but serve as a form of art as well.
Years ago in my grandmother's days, groups of women gathered for quilting. It was a form of socialization and relaxation for women. It was a time when they could get together to visit and catch up with one another once their household duties had been done.
Now days, this social gathering has turned into a business enterprise for many women. They are phenomenal artisans. Quilt Art is springing up throughout our communities.
Quilts are not just used as a form of bedding or covering for furniture and keeping warm, but as beautiful wall hangings. Most of all, they are gifts that last a lifetime and can be passed on from generation to generation as family history tokens.
Carol Eisenstein is a Quilt Artisan who has designed some of the most beautiful quilts. Her quilts each have their own story. For more information, contact Carol , Email: Carol92544@yahoo.com for information and have her design a quilt just for you.
