#woolfestonline2021 Our bowls made from telephone

#woolfestonline2021
Our bowls made from telephone wire are a testament to ingenuity when people are desperate! They are intricately made by Zulu men working in the mines, where they discovered offcuts of plastic covered telephone wire in a myriad of bright colours. They weave them into beautiful little bowls which are decorative in their own right, but can also be used to hold fruit etc.

#woolfestonline2021
I visited Rwanda about 4 years ago, and met lots of groups of women working together to improve the lives of their families; I am very happy to be able to work with some of them through Injabulo and to do more as I expand the business. These women were so very welcoming; I have never had so many hugs in such a short time!
They make a variety of lovely items, including decorative wall art in all sizes, fabric animals and baskets.

These little lidded storage baskets are intricately woven from the local indigenous straw which is also used for weaving hats. They are more intricate than the bigger baskets and I am sure you don't need me to suggest how you might use them!

#woolfestonline
Hello. I am Lynne, the new owner of Injabulo , a company many of you will already know from previous Woolfest events.
We sell beautiful baskets which we import from Ghana, Rwanda and South Africa. They are all hand made by local artisans, are very sturdy and are eco-friendly.
The people who make them are treated following fair trade principles, so they are well-paid for their work and can feel secure that they will never be treated badly or exploited.
Our Bolga baskets are made in Ghana from local natural materials. They have a variety of uses: as decorative objects, for shopping or for storage, particularly of all those projects which we crafters seem to have on the go.
Do have a look at our website and enjoy the vibrant colours of Africa.

Retirement beckons and Roger and I would like to thank everyone who has supported us over the last twenty years. From the start our intention was “to make a difference with something different” and we feel that we’ve achieved that. With your help we’ve also made a difference at Pebbles Project. Our knitting appeals were a resounding success and ensured that the children had lots of woollies to keep them warm in cold Cape winters. Happily Injabulo will be carried on by Lynne Mold. Thank you everyone from the bottom of our hearts. We sincerely hope that with your continued support Injabulo will continue to thrive and grow. Please bear with us during the transition period. It may take a little longer than normal to get your orders out but everything will be sorted by the end of May. #bolgabaskets #telephonewirebaskets #zulubaskets #rwandanbaskets #artisansofafrica #southafricanbaskets #ghanabaskets #rwandanbaskets #fairtradebaskets #gratitude

The patterns on a Zulu basket all have a meaning.

The patterns on a Zulu basket all have a meaning. Diamonds are seen to be feminine. A series of diamonds portray the Shields of Shaka and a double diamond indicates a married woman. Every beautiful basket tells its own story! #zulubaskets #africanbaskets #artisanbaskets #handwovenbaskets #ilalapalmbaskets #naturaldyes #ceremonialbaskets #africanculture #zuluculturr #injabulobaskets #injabulo1 #gratitude
