The piece I was inspired by is an African piece called Braided Crown (Adé). It is by an unknown artist but I had used it to inspire me, instead of making a braided vase, I made knotted bracelets. The bracelets were like the piece because they are an everyday object, that I made by knotting, which is similar to braiding. I picked to use that piece because I was into how it was braided and not just painted like all vases are. I didn't use technology, I only used my hands and string. I gave away the bracelets to others so they've been spread around the community. (Create original art and global awareness)
