The flamboyant trees have these amazingingly beautiful bright orange flowers and the bouganbillia bush looks like an explosion of colour, with clusters of coloured leaves dotted all over it's green plomage. The bouganbilla comes in a variety of different colours. It is actually a tropical flower that was imported here, but has been planted generously around the country.
I've been making the flowers on my jewellery out of gorgeous purple and orange fabric which I found in Nairobi, set in silver flower casts, and there are so many options for fabric, I would like to try using kanga fabric which is the traditional fabric the women wear to dress. It's so beautiful, I will also upload this to the gallery section once I have the pictures sorted.
Check out the shop section for designs, gallery section still to be updated.
Hope you enjoy!!
