Welcome to the eighth installment of The Monday Mix! This has been such a fun series but frankly I am running out of ideas. I've got one more for next week and then I think I'll do a "Best Of" just so that I can eek out a tenth installment and appease my obsession over even numbers! If you have any other ideas I would love to hear them!
The Monday Mixes so far are:
Today's Monday Mix: Juju Hats and Decor
That's right I said juju hat! Have you ever heard of them? I had never heard of them but now that I know about them I see them everywhere.
Here they are used as wall decor:
Originally they were made of red parrot feathers and worn by African royalty chiefs or prominent members of African society during royal affairs, weddings or funerals.

There is actually an intricately woven basket structure on the underside. Palm leaves tipped with a feather are inserted into that structure and the outer palms are covered with silk.

Wow, I love these on the wall but cannot imagine them on somebody's head, lol.
ReplyDeleteWell, well, well, you have excelled yourself on this post! Finding the mix must have taken some time.I had never heard of them either.
ReplyDeleteI like the juju hat, but I'm not sure where I would put one or two:)
ReplyDeleteSo well done, the juju hat is a lot of fun and far more decorative than I would have realized thanks to all your fantastic examples!
