Earlier this week Mama Jane presented me with my own set of Rendille beads, called irteeyo. Such a generous gift from this big-hearted lady.
Then I visited Goratee who has been making a head dress, or rimrimo, for me. I have been going to her a few times a week for the last few weeks in order to have my head measured and check it fits. I learned that either I have a big head and/or Rendille women have incredibly small heads as my rimrimo could go over the top of theirs with lots of space! Finally I got word that it was finished and picked it up.
