After showing my new cloth to Trish yesterday, she happily informed me of the
Twi name, since it is also the name of her bead company! "Ahene pa Nkasa" has various translations, one of which is the bee version mentioned yesterday, the other more along the lines of "Quality Speaks for Itself". I decided to give her half (what was I going to do with 6 yards of fabric anyway?!) and I'm glad I chose a pattern that is so fitting. Below I've posted a photo of the necklace I gave to Michelle before she left as a big Thank you, made by Trish. She has some gorgeous stuff, most of which includes recycled local glass beads, and brass pieces made through the traditional lost-wax method.
