National park N’djida Bouba in Cameroon

Cameroon helplessly witnesses the loss of one of its major colonies of elephants. National Park N’djida Bouba in the north of the country, lived for a few weeks under the control of armed militias, from Chad and Sudan, have killed about 200 copies (one third of those living in the reserve .) Witnesses report that they are armed with Kalashnikovs, horse and camel-assisted, and that give the meat to the local population. They just want the ivory tusks and leave in its wake a trail of elephants beheaded.

Last Tuesday, the official journal of the regime, the Cameroon Tribune carried front page headlines in what he described as “slaughter of elephants.” “That the system recognizes what is happening and shows its impotence. At least they decided to report it, “explained UE sources in the country. The Veintisiste have expressed concerns about what is happening, which can decimate the fledgling hunting and nature tourism.

Tagua Beads San Valentin, giving love and friendship!

February 14th, 2012

san-valentin-gifs-2Valentine’s Day a traditional celebration, February month of love and friendship, where feelings emerge and it is the right time to show a detail what we have the feeling for those special people in our lives.
Many think that this day is celebrated recently and emerged in the interest of big malls. But its origins date back to Roman times, where there was a priest named Valentine wedding sponsoring young emperor’s hidden of the time that was forbidden by military interests.
The material options such as flowers, chocolates, serenades and special dinners are also included on the tradition, although it is always better to get out of the ordinary and give away something special, such as necklacesearrings, bracelets and Tagua beaded accessories.

The tagua beads, a process of art and constant effort

February 7th, 2012
Necklace Eco Ivory TaguaBefore becoming beautiful and artistic jewelry artworks, these shape-forms were the coveted vegetable ivory: tagua. This eco friendly material undergoes a process full of art and constant work to finally turn into the not yet well-known tagua beads.Recognized around the world for its beauty, tagua requires the following steps to obtain the final result.

From tagua mococha after two months of ripening is the dry nut. After harvesting we peel the vegetable ivory; this process takes two to three minutes per unit, depending on how hard the crust is. After this we selected the best.

The nut is cut into slices when dried. Then passes a sander with water and place at least fifty kilos for a period of 12 to 16 hours. After this time the chips are removed and exposed to the sun for drying lasting one to two days depending on weather.

When the chips are dried, they can give desired shape. For coloring aniline is poured into hot water throwing chips about twenty minutes, then must be dried from four to eight days for the color to penetrate. This technique is for the economic line 1st class tagua beads. For premium class of tagua beads, different techniques are used for coloring and finishing is used.

Once dried, they pass a grinding machine mixed with cream which gives a special glow.

Finally the artisans are ready to make the tagua jewelry that covers various parts of the world, teaching the skill of the hands of Ecuador.

Exotic Ivory beads: The sky is the limit for Tagua Beading!

October 31st, 2011

christina Heart locket sample 2Back in July I was contacted by a lady from Miami, asking if  we can manufacture a heart locket with tagua nuts. She attached these images to her email. I must be frank, at that point we had not manufactured such an artwork before. But as tagua is very ductile, and almost everything can be done with it, I replied “YES , we can do it!” Immediately, our artisans were working of this project. I thought we only would work on the tagua heart, but to my surprised she wanted the silver artwork too, the whole jewelry beads.

Well, this was completely new to us, as we did not have a clue how to do that. However, as wechristina Heart locket sample like new challenges, we starting to search what artisan could make the silver artwork and work with our ecofriendly beads (tagua). Along the years we’ve met a lot of handcrafters here in Ecuador, but we hadn’t known by then they could make this kind of work. I learned it is called “bisagrado” in spanish. It is something related to hinges :)

After a lot of searching we found one option, which it seemed at the time as the best one. Nevertheless, the final work was not all good. The finishing was not what we expected.

By that time, we were kind of disappointed. Luckily, I ran into an old email, and found out the name of an old friend from Cuenca, Ecuador. She was a real master in  working bead jewellry. We really love her work. After this, the work was easy, and she even elaborated 2 different designs to choose. Thank you Maria Fernanda, you are a lifesaver.

This is the final work of the tagua beaded exotic ivory locket. I hope you enjoy it!

Should we offer this locket as a item in EcuadorianHands.com – Suggest retail price $89? What do you think?

Thanks for your comments :)
