Kenyan Beaded Art 11
Curtain Tie-Backs

The descriptive notes are from the artistic Kenyan designer and creator .. Meggie Kagwi

This set of two is used to give beaded elegance to your curtains when they are tied back.
The design came about when I had finished decorating a client's house and felt that something was still missing -- something to tie all the colours I had used together. The idea worked like a charm, pleasing the client and resulting in many more orders from visitors to their house.

The antique brass bangles and bells are from the Kambari tribe of Nigeria
The antique agate ovals .. a favourite of the Hausa tribe .. are from India, via Kano in Nigeria
