K&S Tagua Rings are a New Year Pick by EcoFashion World!

Check out EFW's picks from Kuyichi, Knots & Stones, Necklush and PACT Apparel, Inc. this New Year! 

There's something so refreshing about a new year. As the beginning of 2011 is in full swing, many of us contemplate the year that has passed and look forward to a new 365 days filled with hope and new opportunities.
Practicing an old Cuban tradition, my mom takes a bucket of water at midnight, opens the front door and dumps the water out of the bucket to symbolize a welcome to a new year with a fresh clean start. I like to make a list of goals for the New Year and one of my ongoing goals is to pay more attention to environmental issues and gradually make any changes I can to contribute to the health of our planet.
With the drop of the ball in New York City's Time Square, the chimes of London's Big Ben, the water swept over Buddha statues in the Far East, and the flap of saffron colored flags outside of homes in Maharashtra, I welcome 2011 with open arms and challenge you to take a step further with me!

The use of seeds in making jewelry and body ornaments has been in practice for thousands of years. Back in my home country, Colombia, and in particular in cities like Bogotá, beautiful necklaces, bracelets and key chains made with chocos (huayruros), achiras (chirilla), bombona (pambil) and chumbimba (jabon) seeds are commonly found on the streets as they are sold by street vendors and beggars. Unfortunately, the beauty of the craft is often lost due to the conditions that bring these artisans to the city.

SEEDS OF HOPE: KNOTS & STONES

It is human nature to search and explore. Some people push a little harder than others to try new things, find ‘their place,’ and make an impact. New discoveries lead to personal growth and almost always, the influence radiates into the lives of those around the diligent movers and shakers. Andrea Rodriguez-Tarazi, the founder and designer of Knots & Stones, is one of those diligent movers and shakers, creatively converting her inspiration and taking her self-assigned role in the green revolution, armed with tiny knots, delicate seeds, and earth-made stones.
