Circle
Unbroken The story of an old-timey grandfather's family that covers generations is told by a grandmother. Their roots are traced from the old-timey grandfather's childhood in Africa where he learned to sew baskets that would hold water to the present family in America where they continue to teach their children the unique basket-making skill. Throughout their dark days of slavery, the baskets and family stories brought light to the family. Today, they remember their ancestors and share their light with tourists who purchase their beautiful coiled sweetgrass baskets.

Wings 5-Star Rating: "The circle
unbroken. And when your fingers talk just right, that circle will
go out and out again--past slavery and freedom, old ways and new,
and your basket will hold the past--just as surely and tightly as
my ams now hold and circle you." Special Thanks to Claude Ciari allowing us to use his beautiful original composition, Africa. Visit his website at http://www.ciari.com! |
