Africa Orange and Gold



Color week has me revisiting all the wonderfully colorful places I have been fortunate enough to travel to.  For Orange and Yellows I went to my pictures of  Africa.  Our first big exciting trip was to South Africa with Beadventures
That trip was magical and I came home with a suitcase full of great finds.  I don't bead much anymore, having become obsessed with FELTING, but I treasure all the beautiful beads and handcrafts we brought home from Cape Town, and Quazulu Natal, and I find pleasure in remembering our exciting adventure.  I look forward some day to exploring more of this fascinating continent.
