Latest Update

"Since I began working with you, I've become a proud artisan. You have helped me grow and improve my designs and their quality. My design skills have evolved and I'm able to bring most of my ideas to life.

"It wasn't easy at the beginning. I might have a great idea for creating a new design but I didn't have enough money to bring it to reality. But thanks to Novica's interest-free micro-credit loans, I can now implement what ever creative idea I have. I no longer depend only on the local market, since you help bring my art to the doorstep of the world.

"I use to worry when we had less tourism here and how to reach them to sell my masks, jewelry and decor objects, but now I'm worry free because of you. I still work from my home where I started, but I now have better tools to help my work improve. I'm also able to train other and give them work when I have more orders. Thanks to your purchases, my children have completed their university studies and and two of them are yet to complete their vocational skill course.

"I appreciate every little comment I get from you because these comments keep me improving. I love you all and am grateful.

Perfect Match

This necklace was perfect for a blouse with 4 round wood beads at the front keyhole. The length worked perfectly around the front design and the beads were in a lovely pattern and felt good to the touch.

I bought this mask several years ago. It is my most prized mask. The artist did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend her work and this mask. It is larger than most, which is one thing I really liked. Gorgeous. I can't say enough good comments about it.

Absolutely astounding

I just received the "Akan Beauty" mask today and I am overwhelmed by its beauty and quality. It is even better in person than pictured and makes a very imposing statement. The details and craftsmanship are amazing. I would highly recommend this artist and plan to buy more masks in the future.

Shannon

Beautiful but a little big

This bracelet is of very high quality and I love that it is made with recycled glass. I was really excited when it it arrived. Unfortunately, it is a little larger than I expected and was too big for my wrist. Luckily it fit my mom perfectly so she got a gift out of it!

This is a beautiful bracelet. A lot of time had to go into making it, carving and colouring each little piece. I am very proud to wear the work of this beautiful artist. When people ask me about it, I tell them about her and how they can become a KIVA donor. I am buying more for gifts.
