The Magnetic Wodaabe Beauty "Gerewol" Charm Fleece Blanket
Do you want your living room to be beautiful to the extent that even the spirits will stop to look?
My friends, this is not just a blanket. This is a wrapper of magic! This Wodaabe Fleece Blanket captures the soul of the Sahelian nomads, the people who know beauty better than the palm-wine tapster knows his tree.
When you wrap yourself in this African cultural throw, you are not just hiding from the cold that bites like a mosquito; you are wearing the charm of the Wodaabe men. It is soft—so soft! It feels like the foam of the freshest palm wine on your skin. Whether you are sleeping deeply in your bed or sitting on your sofa telling stories to your children, this blanket brings the vibrant colors of the Fulani right into your house.
It is made of polyester fleece that is durable and warm, strong like iron but gentle like a lover. It is perfect for those who love ethnic home decor, tribal art, and things that make the eyes dance with joy. Buy it today, and do not be a person who carries fire on his head but searches for a blanket in the rain!
A True Story & Fact About Africa: Did you know that among the Wodaabe people (a subgroup of the Fulani in Niger and Chad), it is the men who wear makeup and compete in beauty contests, not the women? It is true! During the annual Gerewol festival, the young men paint their faces with red ochre and black clay to show off their bright eyes and white teeth. They dance the Yaake for hours, rolling their eyes and smiling widely to attract a new wife or lover from the female judges. They believe they are the most beautiful people on earth, and they carry mirrors in their pockets everywhere they go!

I ordered a blanket for my daughters 40th birthday. I live in the UK and she lives in Australia. The first blanket didn't arrive so Zazzle arranged a special delivery of another one. My daughter received the blanket on her birthday and absolutely loved it. Thank you Zazzle. I haven't seen the product but I'm told everything was good... printing, quality etc

The product is printed correctly, but there's white gaps where the fibres are showing the base colour. There's only 1 or 2mm of colour. If I made it again, I'd make it on a black blanket. The reason it's white underneath, is because I forgot to change it back. It was too hard to see the picture alignment wihtout it.
The software is clunky and not intuitive to use. I'm not a graphic designer, so I'm not used to photoshop and the like, so a lot of the settings, although I've seen them on my friend's computer, didn't make much sense to me.
Would I make another? Possibly. This one is for me, but I'm not sure about making it available as a product for my fans. It goes all the way to the edges, but not all the way through the fibres. Goodness help you if you can't match the colour of your background, because it will show through the image.
