Dorcus Beads: Baskets and Coasters
She has been making the baskets for the last twenty years of her life; She made the baskets to find money and educate her twelve children over the years. She is a determined woman and says she takes atleast two days to finish one basket.
She is now using the dorcus beads to decorate and add flavor to the products; her daughter in-law has also been assisting and they are also connected to the team producing the loose beads. She has also begun to make fibre coasters ( sets of six) with the dorcus beads on the ends.
