When I went to the Phansi
museum I I saw a lot of traditional African motifs from different Nguni polities such as the Xhosa, Zulu, KwaNdebele
and the Swazi It was very interesting to see what type of art effect does each
group make. When I went there I was looking at the beaded work that was there
and there was some amazing piece that all these different groups make. The one
style that really caught my eye was the beaded pieces from the Zulus in
kwaNongoma. I love the way that they use small triangular shape to create bigger geometric shapes and it is the type of forms and shapes that I want to look at
to design the fashion jewellery.
