Weaving is often thought of as a Craft but in it's highest form I consider it an Art. I recently attended our Area Convention for the Womens Institute. We were honoured to have the wife of the Afghan Ambassador as a speaker. A beautiful lady named Korshied. She also brought some of the Silk Shawls made by the women of Afghanistan. The colors were so beautiful words do not begin to describe them. The feel of the luxurious silk and the colors! My they were something. I believe there is a big showing upcoming in Ontario shortly and will try to find out the details. I have posted two photos I took at the convention.
As you can see from the photos they sold quickly. Such beauty is rarely seen on these shores.
