Oh my! I see mola art on your wall...
I used to live in Central America and spent time with the Cuna women...honest.
Did a bit of cultural polution while I was with them...but I just wanted to sew with them while we were there...spent 5 day weekend holiday in one of thier Neka's...with a real bed to sleep in..while the men went snorkeling for dinner, the women would sit & sew, from the young to the old...
So I pulled out my sewing and sat quietly passing the time.
I bought some from the children, to encourage them...
and while they wanted in the worst way for me to show them how to do English Smocking...I put it away, and asked to be taught how to do what they were doing..telling them I thought their work was much prettier.
Still the damage was done...they had seen embroidery on the surface to embelish. Decades ago...feels like a lifetime ago.
Nice to see someone else appreciates the culture and the art of their Molas.
Must be nice to have a sewing room so big, and all to yourself.
