Thatch...

February 7, 2009

It’s always a pleasure to watch anyone skilled at work…and it was no different as we passed a wedding hall near my home and saw this palm thatch getting ready…

What deft interweaving of the palm frond ! And to think how cheap it is……

I love to see baskets and mats and such beatiful things being woven from bamboo, rushes and reeds.

I hope we continue to employ these artisans, who weave magic with their fingers.
