Renate takes part in village life

Renate learns how to dye sisal and how to make baskets (Ciondo). She became a real expert.

She also made this interesting photo series from a private hair dressing shop next door. Our neighbour was a specialist in producing various hairstyles for the other women of our village. Renate loved to be part and parcel of the work/art and the enjoyment/chatting:

	The old hairdress is being undone ....
	and opened up ...
	great look ...
	Now "Pure Petroleum Jelly" is applied
	Preparations for flattening are complete
	Mama Erik heats up the hot comb on a "Jiko"
	Fuming and hissing...
	Wairimu suffers
	The flattened hairs are plaited into a new hair style
	First in the middle
	Then at the sides
	Work in progress
	Voila, the result

Wairimu, Mama Erik and Renate had real fun.
