The Mosaica Collection includes the egniatic Sosa Style necklaces. Although contemporary crafters often refer to this stitch as a variation of the herringbone stitch; my inspiration and instructress, Esther Mahlango, said the Ndebele don’t use a name for it at all, and it has variations of it’s own. Please Enjoy!

To Order a signed LiAni Shawl, send an email with your phone number to M.Akhasa(at)mail.com. I will call to personalize your order, including size, color, and trim ideas. You will be able to send your deposit via paypal. Also consider shopping with us at the Farmer’s Market, in Baltimore, where there are many LiAni which will never be seen on the web. Most prices range between $75 and $175, but there is no limit to what we can create together.
Rebecca Stewart was born around the time that Fort Christanna was dismantled. Many of the Occaneechi/ Sapponi who had been living there redistributed themselves in the same area, further up in old Occaneechi mountain territitory, or near other bands of their kin. Rebecca bought and maintained land very near the fort.
