"A mathematical genius:" Offhand it seems any mental patient could weave baskets -- that of course is a well known history. Plus, I think a genius is defined as someone who can produce or think of something that no one else has. Since Indians have been weaving for ten thousand years, that probably isn't the case. Now if their weaving was to solve the unified field theory, I would sit up and take notice.
Beautiful!!💓
Absolutely Beautiful baskets. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful! It takes real talent to make these designs. ❤
That’s awesome. Beautiful work
Amazing 😍😍 work a real artist from Algéria peace ✌️
Excellent! You create beauty. Thank you.
What a cute family. I really enjoyed her enthusiasm and amazing designs.
Güzel bir el sanatı tebrikler
Amazing craft. I would love weaving with the strappy eucalyptus bark but it coils as soon as it starts getting dry. How can I keep the same bark permanently moist ?
Where are you?
This is awesome to see but what bothers me is why does it have to be a white guy to sell the products? I kind of think it’s because they stay strict. But all the basket weaving are beautiful. I honestly have not seen any baskets like that. Only the traditional ones.
❤
So beautiful
Hi, 🦋🦋🦋May I share the most important news you will ever hear? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?
God bless you TheGingermarie for sharing Gods living Word with others. The God who sees is with you and so happy you are being faithful dear heart. 🙏✝️
You have been fooled by the white man!
So beautiful. I'm navajo and never learned basket weaving. I've learned many other skills, though.
My great grandparents are both weavers and my dad is a jewelry artist. Its amazing what my people of Diné Nation has passed on. I wish to make my own Navajo Basket. Love to you from Diné Nation 🕊️
RIP ✌️
Stunningly beautiful work!!
I want to learn !!
Traditional arts are so vital. Honestly I think mental health would be better if people just sat together and talked and wove.
Yes! Cherokee Native here.
Amazing talent. Wishing you all the best.
Can you make a burden basket?
Beautiful work...
These are beautiful. Do you sell these by any chance?
how do you change colors and what layer you are weaving?
