I like the adire alabere most.I don't know how the market is ie demand and supply but i think most peeps would pick a wax over an adire,i could be wrong though.

fractals in the patterns

Hey Ify,

I saw the announcement on perx. Just want to acknowledge your effort and input and the many initiatives and help from all you folks that stepped in to embrace and keep her spirit up. She may have been alone and low spirited at one time but I believe as the energies and the emotions poured in her spirit was uplifted, but there's no comparing three months of rescue to 2yrs or more of damage and decay. God Bless each and everyone of you and moreso to you, ify and chelsea and the other gentleman (forgot his id) for taking the trip and representing our well wishes to her in person and sharing goodwill with her family. May her soul rest and find sojourn with the Lord, Amen.


On the fabric, definitely alabere is unique and very appealing. It will look very well on a curvy woman like you, you have great body to model it well. The pattern is eye-catching. . . . .on a woman with eye-catching contours, go figure!!! You should show this comment to your husband. wicked!

The print with the King and Queen design is awesome! If I was in fabric or fashion marketing I would obtain license and re-comission them into production.


Amor4ce,

yes many of them have fractal vectors but these would appear created out of artistic liberty than any connection with mathematical expression or the manifestation of an Odu Ifa. Involuntary manifestation, rather than a voluntary or calculated goal of the artist.

My opinion about the patterns is that the involuntary actions you referred to could in some instances be the manifestations of spiritual nudges perhaps without the mind of the concerned individual conscious to such at the moment of putting down the designs. I arrived at this conclusion because I see fractals as a term describing "Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"/"As above so below"/"there is nothing new under the sun"/"repetition of history".


Right now I desire indigenous apparel (including adire) minus the easily fading part.

Chief Negro,thank you.So very painful,her death.
