A couple of weeks ago, we had the opportunity to go south to the Negev Desert, and visit the Bedouin women at the Lakiya Negev Weaving shop. A little known secret of my amazing Mom is that she is a fantastic weaver! She used to do a lot more before us kids were born, but I hope that one day she will get a loom and get back into it! It was so cool for me to see first-hand how these women are working to create a better future for themselves and their families by preserving this beautiful tradition of weaving. It also gave me a better idea of how weaving works and what it takes. Here are a few pictures of these amazing women!
I wish I had better pictures of the tent we were sitting in- it was AMAZING! I can't believe that people can actually produce something like that by hand!
