They responded to this by developing creative and distinctive decoration in their house designs and beadwork. Aprons and capes were traditionally made of sheepskins decorated with white beads. As the variety of colours of beads and their availability increased in the earlier part of the twentieth century. More beads were sewn onto garments. During the 1970s colours in beads changed to include green, blue, purple, brown and black against a white beaded background. More recently, braided trimmings and coloured plastic are sewn or glued to the edges of the apron. Beadwork is made and worn by women to denote their life cycle from puberty to adult and married status. A young girl would wear a ghabi. A beaded panel above a fringed apron followed by a pepetu, a larger version at puberty. Made by the girl's mother, it would be worn on her coming-out day together with other beaded ornaments. Upon marriage the jocolo is worn and is later worn on special occasions.

She is pictured on the cover, wearing her grandmother's Sangoma regalia. Most of the studies of African art available in this country have been written by outsiders. And. While these accounts can be informative, there is a level of understanding that only an insider can provide. For this reason. Africa Direct is proud to present Zulu Beadwork: Talk with Beads. Its author. Hlengiwe Dube, is a Zulu woman raised in a traditional family. She has been director of the African Art Centre ... morein Durban, South Africa, for many years. Her relationship with Zulu beadwork is direct and personal. Much of it drawn from her own experience or stories passed down by her mother and grandmother. In Zulu Beadwork: Talk with Beads. She makes her expertise available to readers everywhere. In an engaging. Conversational style, she talks about the âunspoken wordsâ of traditional beadwork designs. Each color of bead. And each combination of colors, creates a different message. From the white beads that assure a lover.  Whenever I see you my heart goes white as the milk of cattle when they are milked in the morning. to the green beads that proclaim.  I am going to wait for my husband as he works in Johannesburg. Hlengiwe Dube leads us through the fascinating complexities of beadwork messages. Illustrated throughout with beautiful color photographs and including chapters on historical and regional trends. Zulu Beadwork: Talk with Beads is a must-read for anyone interested in learning about African art from the people who create it. 43344* All content.
