Header Challenge: fold
May 6, 2013
Katney picked "fold" for today's challenge. I was afraid it would be tricky, but once I started looking, I found it wasn't too hard to find good folds to use. Check out my pals for their interpretations on this theme:

This week I picked African headwraps from Sierra Leone for my header. It's like one long satin scarf that they wind and fold to create a distinguished and ornate, flower-like flare to their attire. I do not remember the women's exact title, but these ladies were like the "Aunties," or esteemed friends of the Mother-in-Law. Trying to photograph a wedding from another culture can have its challenges, but I was honored that they asked me.

We have a friend in Sierra Leone.
He is from here (South Georgia)...is an RN, and lives and works in the villages.
It was such a pleasure to see the folds that you shared with us here, Craver!
The African headwraps are awesome folds. Ones I have not had an opportunity to experience.
Dance the Night away,
Colorful and lively folds you found! In some cultures there is much more work involved in dressing up.
Nicely done Craver, what a neat head-dress.
Craver, is that you?!
I've been digging the Pale Ale at Indeed, although for a couple cents more you can get their beers infused, and the dark cherry infusion on some of the more ROBUST brewings are delightful.
Don't tell the cat. :-)

Looks like quite a party! What time did you get back to the fold?
