Telephone Wire Platter

****************
"Of all the wonderful items from Up From The Dust, the telephone wire bowls have been my favorite. To know they are made from recycled wire makes my bowl all the more special. I was amazed at the sturdy design and facinated with the intricately woven colorful wires. I highly recommend Mary’s products, not only for their uniqueness, but also for helping to financially support women in business from third world countries."

The Women of Swaziland
The women in this poverty stricken, rural part of Africa are using skills learned from years of plaiting grass roofs for their homes to support their families and orphaned children who have lost parents to illness. Their corner of the world has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS and with so many children to care for, they must be able to work from home. As you can see from the photo to the left, the women create contemporary designs using traditional hand skills and local raw materials. The income generated by these women, most of whom are grandmothers, allows them to meet the needs of their families and the children they have committed to raising in this small, mountainous remote country.
