Finally I do this!
This has been in my head pretty much around the time I first started making them but I could never come up with a design for the tree. All the sketches I made never seemed to fit the theme. My birthday was on Friday and my boyfriend let me buy a couple of materials for my pendants. I bought these glass chips for another project but I realized that it might also go with the Sankofa bird? What do you guys think?

I thought of doing a Sankofa because about two years ago a lady in one of my classes asked me to do a Sankofa tattoo design for her. I never heard of the Sankofa but I instantly liked it once I saw images of it (Because it's a bird and if you guys haven't realized it, I LOVE birds. That and I thought the meaning was nice) The Akan word, Sankofa means "one must return to the past in order to move forward." The symbol of the Sankofa is a bird whose head is faced in the opposite direction of its body. This emphasizes the fact that even though the bird is advancing, it periodically makes it a point to examine or return to it's past, since this is the only way for one to have a better future.

I hope you guys like it Please let me know what you think of it!
