Story Behind the Art:
Some of the favorite recycled jewelry items are the 'dancing girl' pins and earrings, made of recycled phone cards by craftspeople in Kisumu, Kenya and finished by TEMAK. These earrings 'dance' from your earlobes and whisper advice;they are particularly astute at financial advising and shoe choice. The sign for the Teenage Mothers Association of Kenya (TEMAK) indicates that it is 'the last house towards the Obunga slums,' the most destitute area of Kisumu. Many of the unwed mothers and young girls who come to TEMAK to learn job skills live in these slums. TEMAK is an organization that offers job training in tailoring, hairdressing, secretarial skills, craft making, and recently computers to unwed mothers, girls, and others in the Obunga slum community. As a community center, the organization also provides the community with an educational forum for HIV/AIDS awareness and other health issues.

I was surprised at how quickly these earrings arrived. Very cute and whimsical. Figures are just slightly over 1 inch in height. What you see in the picture is what you are going to get except for color differences in beads and dress. Nicely packaged if purchasing as a gift. You will not be disappointed.
These earrings are so much fun. They are smaller than I thought they would be but are absolutely the perfect size. They are VERY light weight and comfortable. It hardly feels like I am wearing earrings. I really love them!!
These earrings are adorable! they don't have the same color or style as you see in the above picture but they are wonderful :) . Expect to get a "custom" piece- Beautiful.
