Ellen Johnson Sirleaf RARE fabric


The Internet can be a GEM! Thank you to Bernard Collet - who has an extraordinary collection of 200 different African fancy prints - scroll down to see yesterday's post. He forwarded to me a scan of a RARE - at least here in the US - print of Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf. (You can read a commentary about the new president by Mojúbàolú Olúfúnké Okome in JENDA: A JOURNAL OF CULTURE AND AFRICAN WOMEN STUDIES).

I'll trade practically any piece in my African American fabric collection for a half yard or more of the Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf fabric! Thanks for sharing Mr. Collet.
