African Raffia Weaving Completed

Just finished sewing together the sides of the woven strips to create a triangular stick.

This is my interpretation of an African Fly Swatter

Here is a Maasai Beaded Fly Swatter

So you can see where I was coming from design wise!

And here are views of each of the three sides

Thanks once again to Mary Sleigh for introducing me to the delights of African textiles.

I will now put an end to this line of design work for the time being as I have priorities in other areas, especially the C & G course work, BUT now I have found them I doubt that the methods, stitches and design work of the African textiles will be too far away.
