Several of the weavers who spoke to Dr. Hedlund wished to remain anonymous. It's something that was given to me by my Mom. It's still with me, and I will teach my grandchildren. It would be a shame if the weaving got lost after all our mothers knew so much about it. I'm trying to keep the tradition.
Carved lines are easy to make with a pencil, paint or even clay.
They are much more difficult to make when weaving a curved design on a basket or some cloth. The shape and lack of flexibility of the weaving material as well as the framework on which the weaving is done, makes the curves very hard to do.
