Clearing out the cobwebs …

OK!! I’m going to make the effort to keep my blog updated! I had NO IDEA blogging would be so time consuming! Social media on whole has become time consuming, but that’s a whole ‘nuther issue!! LOL

Anywho, I’m clearing out the cobwebs and I’m going to blog! My blog has no real rhyme or reason. I’ll be sharing an assortment of interesting things. I love fashion and style, so there will be some of that. I love jewelry, so I’ll share some of my favorite designers with you. I’m always on the prowl for interesting and creative videos, and of course I’ll be updating you on all things Waist Beads by Sewra. I do a lot of random babbling but I promise to keep it interesting!

First order of business … I’ll be one of the designers at the FELA FUNK&TRUNK shopping party. I’m really looking forward to SUNDAY! I get to hang out with my people, the music is gonna be jamming and it’s going to be a really great day in NYC! If you’re in NYC you should definitely come down! The event is happening at the Caribbean Cultural Center in Manhattan. There’s an art exhibit on Fela Kuti upstairs in the gallery. I saw it opening night. It’s really good. I was there for a short time, so Sunday I’ll get to take my time and really take it all in.

Along with myself, the other designers that will be there is N’krumah of Anu Rock & Metal. He’s been coming up with some serious designs! Rings, cuffs, bracelets and asymmetrical earrings. I’m going to try reallly, realllly hard not to spend every last single dollar in my pocket with him! Hahahaha! Because that’s what usually happens. Then… Nacinimod, of The House of Nassat and crochet Master of the Universe has been working on some insane architectural earrings. INSANE! I had the privilege to see some of the new stuff. Very extraterrestrial! Harriet’s Alter Ego will bringing it hard! I always find myself making a B-line to their racks because of all the colors!! I just want to touch everything!! Plus, I love seeing Ngozi!! Also there is, Designs by Alicia P. She makes the most intricate suede earrings! They’re rolled strips of leather with semi-precious stones and crystals. They literally are pieces of fine art! Her earrings are so finely crafted, and the style is really different. I love me some DIFFERENT! Because different means NEW! And new is definitely needed NOW. I’m really excited to see what she has! It’s a whole lotta of eye candy!

Sistaphyre Kreations has some hot hot pieces!!! I was at Teaty’s table a couple weeks ago at the Artisans Market in Brooklyn, and I had very hard time deciding what to get. Do I get the sterling silver open “C” earrings? Or do I get the sterling silver and resin modern art style earrings. Or do I get the sterling silver and brass drops? It was a hard decision, but I listened to my gut and bought the ones I kept going back to. The open “C’s”!! Hopefully for your sake, she made another set! I snatched the only set on the table!  Rounding out the HOTNESS that’s going to be at the FELA FUNK&TRUNK is 512 Collective. He was at Collide-A-Scope and had some great art pieces. He takes pieces of found objects and incorporates his art work with the object! It’s very cool and different. And you know how I feel about different!!!

Second order of business is …. I’m coming to Atlanta! N’krumah and I are taking this show on the road and heading south! We’re going to be at The National Black Arts Festival, in Centennial Olympic Park. Thursday, July 15th to Sunday, July 18th. I’ve never been to Atlanta, so I’m really looking forward to coming down there! The best part is both of my best friends are going to be down there! Heezarita is coming with me, and Marjorie, of Yes Lioness, will be set up with her new t-shirts and artwork. She’ll be sharing a tent with Nyemay of Nyemay Collectables with her African inspired homewares. YOU READY FOR US ATLANTA?!

I’ll see you on Sunday! And stay tuned for more blog entries! *Fingers crossed!!
