African Beadwork

Last Saturday a group of us went to visit a bead factory where they make jewelry beads out of broken glass bottles. They collect Coke, beer and wine bottles and crush them up into a powder. The powder is then put it into a mold setting and fired up for 5 minutes. It was interesting to see how ingenious they could be with what they had to work with. On the way to the bead factory, we saw a bunch of baboons along the roadside. They quickly ate the food that we gave them and then ran away into the bushes. My first safari encounter.
