Dog Collars and Leads
Linda Camm decided to start working with a women’s group, based on the Tanzanian border, to try and use the skills that they already have and to adopt them so that the Western world would like and be able to use the work in their own culture.
The work includes many items – one of which is the beaded dog collars and leads. Many different designs, different colored beads and the leather straps are handed out to the women, who take them home, where they create their own designs using Linda's beads. They return to the workshop once a week with the completed product – these collars are then handed out to our man, Daniel, who employs his own group of people, and who put them together. They are lined, hand stitched, beveled and polished. The buckle used is made out of recycled brass and is totally hand cast. The result – a beautiful collar of the finest quality.
Again the inspiration of this design comes from the Maasai who use a lot of beaded disc work in their designs. Some of the colors used are not that which the Maasai would use, but we have used these colors to suit the western market. All the time the designs are changing and the inspiration of these ideas comes not only from the Maasai but from different groups of people living in other parts of Africa. A lot of Linda's inspiration comes from the Wodaabe people, a desert group, living in Mali, Mauritania and Niger.
