About Artistry and Beadwork of the Orishas

Iyansa

Bahia dos meus sonhos

This group is dedicated to the intricate beadwork and artwork associated with La Regla de Ocha, including mazos, elekes, unique beaded items and to propagate the diaspora of the Yoruba pantheon of Orishas. My Madrina passed on the gift of beautiful beadwork to me, so I would like to share this art with the world. We can all learn from each other, so feel free to post any unusual caminos or items. Kawo Kawiosile Shango and Maferefun Orishas. Alafia, Melissa Drewry
