  • Who would not love an adire tea set? Adire are an iconic textile made popular in South Western Nigeria by prolific Yoruba women. This pattern is well known as 'oniko' because it is the result of resist-dyeing with raffia. Resist-dyeing is a way of putting patterns on white cotton cloth manipulating the original fabric in such a way so as to prevent it from absorbing the dye ("tie n dye"). For example, small circles can be created by tying small stones or seeds into the cloth and larger circles can be made by lifting a point of fabric and then binding the fabric beneath it tightly. . . . . . . . . . #breakfast #interiordesigner #interiordecor #interiorinspiration #textiledesign #teaset #coffeemug #nescafe #lavazza #kitchenware #tableware #africanfashion #waxprint #giftideas #interiordecorator #africandesign #africaninteriors #sipstea #dessertplate #artdetable #Africandecor #inspiredbyafrica #styledbyafrica #indigo #morningslikethese #mondaymorning

  • Faces of Africa by @mario_gerth_photography. The prolific German photographer's work is now widely recognizable and is the result of a physical and psychological journey across Africa's remotest regions of nearly 4 years. . His collection of hauntingly intimate portraits of Africa's last nomads reminds us of beauty, legacy, self-sufficiency and natural order of the past, now usurped for a "modernity" that seems absolved of societal values. His website describes his photography as "his modest tribute to Africa’s people, the best way he has found to thank a land where natural dignity and elegance is etched on the faces of the natives". . . . . . . . #tribalphotography #portrait_ig #africanphotography #justgoshoot #makeportraits #travelphotography #photographylovers #symmetry_art #monochromaticphotography #photographer #famousphotographer #germanphotography #travelphotographer #photographerlife #gallerywall #portrait_vision #portrait_planet #photograph #portrait_shot #blueprintafrica

  • #TravelTuesday: A 3-day trip to the best weaving cooperative in Northern Ghana through my eyes. Fall in love with the intricate handiwork of the fra fra people in Bolgatanga. When you truly appreciate what it takes to make a bolga basket and provide sustainable incomes, you might appreciate that the fast fashion prices many of us demand are unfair and just do not make sense. For my fellow Ghanaians who have never been to the North, sometimes the best things are in one's own backyard. Tremendous thank you to Greg, Azure, Gloria, Ismail and all the members of the cooperative for letting us into a day in your life 🙏🏽 and the warm welcome.You can shop the baskets on www.blueprintafrica.com or right here on IG. 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 . . . #ghana #ghanaian #ghanaweaving #ghanastyle #pulseghana #ghanabloggers #ghanabusiness
