Spirit Dance Adornments: How to use a 3 step wire looping pliers

This is a very basic. Use it for everything and everywhere.

Talking Adornments

When your spirit speaks let it use the Adinkra language of the Akan people of West Africa. The Adinkra language is an ancient symbol system, today it is primarily found in Ghana. At Spirit Dance we have added a Diaspora element to the interpretation of the language. When creating our adornments we conceptualize each piece considering two methods of interpreting the symbolic representation of the Adinkra language. First, we employ the ideal of “Sankofa.” Like the mythical bird flying forward while looking back, we endeavor to fearlessly remember the siprit of the past while employing craft techniques of different times and different lands where the children of Africa have traveled and settled.
