"Dive into the ancient Maasai tradition of beading, its history, and its purpose. African beaded jewelry is one of today's most popular trends in jewelry making, and in this book, you'll learn from skilled Maasai artisans, who teach you to make 21 beaded designs as you read their personal stories. Using widely available and accessible materials and few tools, you can make a variety of designs, from simple asymmetrical earrings to a complex geometrical cuff bracelet. The Maasai of the Loita Hills of Kenya established RedTribe Beadwork, a female empowerment enterprise in which the women create, market, and sell their beaded jewelry. Meet Melau, a young mother of five children; Nalepo, who supports her disabled husband and ten children; wise, gentle, and spiritual Nalotwesha; and many others who will inspire and teach you.

"Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of the beach through the captivating lens of art photographer Phillip Lehans. Amid a world seeking solace during the pandemic, Lehans expertly employed pinhole photography to capture the essence of five East Hampton beaches. His deliberate choice of a slow and antiquated medium perfectly mirrored the prevailing mood of the times, offering an escape and an immersive experience in equal measure. Lehans's panoramic images skillfully evoke the tranquility and serenity that reside within our beachside dreams. Armed with a wooden camera and a manual shutter, he masterfully manipulates prolonged exposures to craft an ethereal atmosphere, where pastels dance like watercolor strokes. Every delicate nuance of nature finds its place in his compositions-a gentle breeze sweeps clouds across the sky, tracing graceful streaks of white and pastel, while the ebb and flow of tides imbue the ocean with a creamy calmness. In Lehans's mesmerizing works, we witness the infinite variations of the beach-a reminder of nature's cyclical rhythms, the passage of time, and the unfailing optimism that accompanies each new day. Allow yourself to be transported to a realm where sun, sand, and surf converge, and where the artistry of pinhole photography intertwines with the soul-stirring essence of the shore." --Publisher's description.
