In this case though, unless the lady in the back right corner had a smelter at home I doubt that the flat sheets of copper she used originate from our telephone or power grid. Unless, of course, stolen copper wire was smelted and formed into hot-water cylinders. ;) PiaK, I some times marvel at African ingenuity in reusing discarded items. Car tyres, hot-water cylinders, milk-bottle caps, soda cans... and the list goes on almost indefinitely. :) Emm, I hear you – that copper-wire theft is bloody annoying.

I'd love to have a couple, alas I reside too, too far away. We did get a rather lovely large carved wooden head when in SA, bought from a seller beside the road. Not too keen on stopping either, but I think they have some truly lovely things on offer. And the handmade ingenuity of it, that's really inspiring! These look grand!
