Hi Aster,
I have just returned from my trip to Gauteng.
I really meant to comment on the bead collection at Naturel. The three crates that I saw carried some of the rarest pieces that occur in the Transkei.
I am glad that you will be exhibiting them in a live museum that people may see them and even buy.
Keep up the good work.
From an avid collector.

Bead and Shell Lampshed
The lamp shade, made at the Xhosa Bead Museum, is a mixture of traditional sea shell chains mixed with modern glass beads to create a truly natural environment. The light rays filter brightly through the beads and the shells dull the ambiance creating a sober, relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The lamp shades enhance the spirit of natural living, of reinventing the coastal tradition of crafting various sea shells.
This is the perfect example of living with and around nature - part of XBM's efforts for sustainable development, conservation and a genuine natural organic lifestyle.
