Jewelry from Women of Kireka

I recently remembered that I took these photos in December.  This is jewelry that I helped design while working with Women of Kireka.  


As I mentioned in an old post, the paper beads you see here are all over Kampala.  But no one as far as I've seen has marketed jewelry that combines paper beads and metals.  


These pieces resulted from an effort to revamp paper bead jewelry.


These photos aren't exactly originals.  The colors were so vibrant that I played around with contrast and shading for a bit more of a dynamic effect.



I went a little overboard with this one, but I still really like the effect.
