Geneva Shabi (shown here) is a weaver from the Navajo Nation. Ms. Shabi follows in the footsteps of her mother and her grandmother when it comes to weaving. I loved the design of this rug and I admire the patience it takes to make these wonderful pieces of art. Happy Sunday everyone!
Great art and artist!
ReplyDeleteI have been always fascinate by the patience of a weaver. I can't really see myself doing something like this... Wonderful image and my compliments to Geneva Shabi for her work!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your 3rd anniversary from Valladolid.
ReplyDeletePatience, great skill, and an artistic eye. It is so very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo much tradition in the world we frequent. So important to remember our past.
ReplyDeleteNice shot! I really like the patterns in the design.
ReplyDeleteThe artist in action: super. Navajo rugs are a dream of mine. Maybe someday... Have a great Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this photo, but the loom itself is especially interesting to me because it is so very obviously homemade of inexpensive materials. I have spent a fair bit of money on looms in the past, and looking at the simple design of this loom and the gorgeous results of the weaver's work makes me feel like a bit of a fool!
ReplyDeleteInteresting life lesson... Thank you!
I love watching these weavers. It takes a lot of patience to work a loom like that.
ReplyDeleteFantastic design!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that weaving by hand isn't yet a lost art!
ReplyDeleteRandy - I adore these Indian Market photos. I've always wanted to be in Santa Fe for this event, but never gotten my act together. Your beautiful photos serve as an inspiration to make plans.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true. I could never sit still long enough to do this. I am not the most patient tool in the shed.
ReplyDeleteNice design
ReplyDeletethat is something I would love to buy...one day...
ReplyDeleteI love to watch a weaver work their magic. Wish I could do such beautiful work. Your pictures of the Indian Market are the next best thing to being there. Thanks for taking us along.
ReplyDeleteWow. She must be so skilled. I admire people who create works of art by using the loom.
ReplyDeleteHave a great start to your week!

Another craft that I find incomprehensible! How do they do that...it is incredibly beautiful! I suppose they don't make up the designs in their head but use old native American designs...
