RE: Fascinating First Nations Basket Weaving
Incredibly beautiful baskets @janton We can certainly admire them but do we really appreciate the skill that goes into making them especially when intricate patterns are used? I hope this craft will always be handed down to the generations as it is so special.
The people in the first picture were not too happy about getting their photo taken were they? And I can see why that painting by Zhou Shu Liang is one of your favourites. It has so much life and character in it and portrays fashion, expression and location brilliantly. (U & R)
Oh thank you so much for the resteem Trudee and you expressed why I like that last painting better than I could! lol. Exactly right on, it's like we are right there in 1930 or so and you love street markets so I can see you there. Except maybe not in the long dress! lol.
The baskets are amazing but they aren't making the complex designs anymore unfortunately but they are making really nice baskets to this day, just not the ones with the real small, tight weaves that take months to do. I'll have more to show tomorrow. Then after that I'll show the mind-blowing pottery! lol.
