The Power Of Beads

My education, coupled with learning ancestral lore at home, gave me a clear understanding of the significance and value of African culture and the beauty or power of beads in ceremonial rites.In add, it gave me a new perspective on both cultures-a bifocal look at all worlds through the same eyes. At the heart of this thesis is my belief that "THE POWER OF BEADS" takes extensive, critical or uncritical exposure to any culture and special to an artist-designer to see it clearly. One must be able to listen with new ears, see with new eyes, and be patient. This thesis is a gift capable of bringing different ethnic groups closer together in their values and beauty. I have been able to reach out from African beads' culture to embrace the modern world of beads trading and its beauty of design (bead making and bead working). I had determined to work in different views of different cultural nations, documenting and building this definitive thesis of vanishing traditional ways of beads' power.Driven by a love for the world bead ship and its power in different traditional ethnic groups and studying their ceremonial beauties with ideas of professional exacted and artistic compassion. This thesis has been bom from their great dedication, and wish can stands as an enduring statement for future generations as well as a call to preserve the priceless diversity of beads and its jewelry innovation."THE POWER OF BEADS" will open the eyes and hearts of people interested in ceremonial jewelry, history of trading, and tributes values. It will also inspire those who seek to reconnect the beauty and sacredness of these rituals with a culturally impoverished and spiritually distressed modern world. So I believe that, with my thesis, have responded to an urgent call from the world's ancestors to record secret beauty of beads before it is too late or ended. We listen to this ritual jewelry in order to gain deeper understanding of the identity, the spiritual philosophy, and the cosmology of traditional tributes and its standing wealth of cultural treasures, a legacy we are obligated to protect.The modern world has too often stripped itself bare of meaningful rituals, and the psyches of modern men and women seek ways to reinvigorate their relationship with the secret. The bridges between the traditional African world-calm, eternal, respectful or nature - and modern life need to be strengthened.I now invite you to explore the magnificence of traditional beads beauties through the pages of this "BEADS POWER".
