Lubumbashi is a town in the middle of Africa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo... This is my homage to it, wish I could find an Africa dangle. I might substitute a piece or two, but at the moment I am pretty happy with it, it makes me think of an African sunset.

Very colorful and lively!  I love you  Have you ever been to Lubumbashi? I only know the runway of their little airport from a few plane stop overs and as I get sick looking out of planes expecially while landing and starting (closed eye operations for me those...). I have only a vague idea how the town and surrounding area really look.

I was born there, but no idea what it looks now, since my parents left after a few years.

Yes, it's him, actually I bought because of his cute face, he reminds me of the pink panther!

Thank you for all you lovely comments!!

That is a great excuse for a bracelet and it has turned out fabulously well.  I love the rich warm tawny colours.
