Our Heritage...Bark Cloth!

I was mesmerized just reading about Ugandan bark cloth also known as Olubugo and how it has been preserved and used. This isa very special material and is one of the evolution wonders of Uganda! From traditional limitations to high end fashion designs,this trend is going strong!

Initially,all we ever heard about this Olubugo was the fact that traditional healers wore it during any ceremony and we all connected it or limited it to traditional but boy are we wrong!

I have seen beautiful designs from the bark cloth...from book covers to accessories to creative designs...wow... am swimming in an ocean of possibilities with my bark cloth and a head of ideas..jump in!

There a a variety of ways in which the bark cloth have played a huge role in art...depends on how creative one gets...

Conscious fashionistas! Part 1

OOOOOhhh..!!! I am so excited about this new 'project fashionista' that I am venturing into. I have looked into the eye of fashion and tried to understand my sisters(and some brothers) who have the courage to make or break trends. Many of us have watched as the local celebrities,divas,political figures...well,let's say people who seem to always fit in the public eye,try so hard to introduce the latest trends or try to 'create their own'.

I personally appreciate fashion..the cuts,the colors,the fabric,the fitting and oh! the attitude in which one wears it! I am about to introduce a 10 part series of people in our community who have managed to hold their own when it comes to making a fashion statement.

And the Number one contender is.....drums rolling....

JUDITH HEARD!

It is not about her having it all btw,this diva wears very simple and elegant cuts. I just love the way she wears her colors and fits with a particular theme. She has a very high sense of fashion. She has even gone out of her way to become a trend setter. I love the way she introduces a new trend and girls all over town are going out for it. Love it! Coolstuff!

Somebody..anybody..please send me cool pics of Judith Heard. She rocks!

Cannes finnest!

“Art is... a question mark in the minds of those who want to know what's happening.


And that is the reason I sit here still...trying to ponder on what was and how it affects what is....

The View...!!!

Its a rainy day here in Entebbe, and I bet a cold day in many places the world over. On such days,I usually kick back and relax, while listening to my fav soul jams or with a good book and a large mug of coffee for company!

Today, I can't seem to thank mother enough for the gift of life! Lots of friends and family have gone to better places...and we continue to give her gratitude for their lives and many more lives they'll live.

Besides that,today also brings memories of a long lost friend who chose to see life through the eyes of love. I do not know how she managed to do so...She would call with the worst news but still managed to keep her head up and view this as something that would pass soon.

'Mother knows best!' she always said...

So today,with all the courage I can gather...Ima kick my covers off and see the beauty in this cold weather while giving mother gratitude for such a time as this.

Wishing you Peace and Love,
