Dance of Eternal Nature

Preserving an ancestral crafting tradition, artisans of the Zenu Community in Colombia create this pretty cuff bracelet. Starting with a plastic base, they cover the cuff with hand-woven caña flecha fiber in magenta, white, sea green and yellow. The neotropical grass is native to Colombia and Mexico, and is used to craft everything from jewelry and hats to home decor. Red polyester fabric trims the ends of the cuff.
