[CGwithEd]

I love this! These women are deep , dark, delicious and beautiful! Wish I could see that bag up close and feel the texture! How much are they in American money and how do I purchase one?

[DaveLovesDoves]

[Pucca157]

[ladybugsing]

Great video. what talent these wonderful ladies have, I'm inspired by their creativity. I loved seeing the social interaction between the child and mother.

[Luv2BeHappyLeo]

That's so amazing! I might try it hmm.

[pitpackinheat]

Wow, talking about amazing skills! I love how they still manage to be creative, even with their very limited resources. Americans are lazy, always willing pay for convenience, while polluting and complaining about their lives... This is very inspiring - A great example!

[racer4pro]

dang these ppl have a hard life compared to most americans. stay strong

[Darkness8Random]

i dont think it hard i think it necessary.

while most americans are forgetting how to live without the stores and what not they do not need them to survive.

[GambiaRising]

@marinokbj

Good point. They are trash (picked up from the roadside, and they are bags, but in the U.S. trash bags are a thicker, bigger bag used to collect trash. I've changed the title to "plastic bags." Thanks for watching and commenting.

[Ermengarde11]

God bless U4 posting this &God bless these people! I crochet from recycled materials sometimes, such as used cassette tapes, video tape, I even used CDs in garments, purses &hats. Curling ribbon, wire, etc., Uname it, I've found a way to use it including tying all my scraps of yarn together.

Keep the art alive &reuse/recycle everything people! Mother Earth demands that Udo.

Praise be! This warms my heart so much. Beautiful music too.
