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.

Marie 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.

Coordinate with a leopard outfit I have. These earrings top it off to perfection. I’m a “bigger” gal and they don’t get lost in my hair: they are so feminine and beautiful. Well made and lightweight. They are comfortable to wear.
