Art Sling Bags by Blakstone – Crafts ft. Kids of Mama Rosie

Blakstone – Crafts Art Sling Bags ft. Kids of Mama Rosie

Our visit to Mama Rosie and her children from Baphumelele lead us to Khayelitsha.

Khayelitsha is the most populated Township and just at the outskirts from the buzzing city Cape Town situated. We were very happy that we got the chance to create beautiful Blakstone – Crafts Art Bags with 9 of the older Kids between 14 and 17 years old.

But the little ones (age 6-10) also had an opportunity to express their art by having fun and getting a bit dirty. Because their hands and feet were covered in paint. We had a big jute fabric, which we spread on the floor and after a shy start, the kids went wild. They created a beautiful hand and foot print picture which we still contemplate if we should offer it as a whole picture or if we should cut it up and make bags out of it, maybe you can help us to decide.

The creations of the older Kids turned out stunning, they painted the bags with a message of love and each of the teens were brave enough to speak a wish for the potential buyer.

Obviously, we hope that those bags been sold, so that we can donate back money for Baphumelele.

If you are interested in Mama Rosie”s orphanage and you want to help her and the kids with direct donations you can either go on her website https://baphumelele.org.za/ or get in contact with us and we can be of assistance as well.

Thank you and give us your comments what you think we should do with the big picture!
