Dread Mama’s Cowrie Shells November 2008

Tried to get a close-up of some of my cowrie shells. I sew then directly into my dreads. After awhile, a few years or sew, the threads weaken and the shells fall out. At one point in time I had over 20 shells in my locks, now I have 11. I’m thinking about adding more, but I also have a few beads too. hmmmmm, what do you think?

Now ya’ll didn’t really think I walk around with all my hair trailing along behind me, did you? This is how I usually wear my hair. My hair is long enough so that I can just tie it up into a big knot. It feels much lighter in a bun, and is out of my way.

I sewed the cowrie shells directly onto a dreadlock.
