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.

Summer Citrus Centerpiece



There are so many different ways of creating art. This is the time of year when citrus fruits are a plenty. I have a backyard filled with lemons and oranges. Way too many to know what to do with them all.

I decided to create the citrus centerpiece for the table located on my deck of my backyard. A variety of citrus fruits from my trees, to the left a Buddhist hand which I picked up from the local farmers market  to use for cooking and some recycled artificial breads from the shelves in my garage. I created a fabulous colorful display. What do you think?

Create your own centerpiece from things around the house and in your garden. By the way, your welcome to lemons and oranges from my trees. LOL.

Peace, Love and Blessings,
Alisa
