Monkeybiz Buffalo Bill Beaded Wire 3D Bokkie Art South Africa Empowering Women

Beautiful Buffalo Bill - Blue and Brown beaded pattern - defintiely a 1 of a kind. Hand beaded collectible art works by Monkeybiz artists. Nomnikelo’s peculiar (iconic long-legged) beaded bokkie art is designed in an all-over ditsy pattern offered in a classic multi-colour palette. Monkeybiz is an economic upliftment project dedicated to reviving the traditional craft of African beadwork and empowering women to become financially independent. Since 2000 Monkeybiz has supported in the region of 300 bead artists to continue creating these unique artworks. All profits for the sale of artworks go back into the community where bead artists are provided with year-end bonuses and funeral cover for their immediate families. The crowning achievement of Monkeybiz is that it recognises and develops the artistic ability of people who have never had the opportunity to express themselves through art. Monkeybiz provides a platform for beaders to become artists within their own right. Buffalo is in excellent condition with no flaws to note.
