Looking for A Blanket ?



Long time no see !


Some favourite pieces - they seem to be mostly from Myanmar!


Myanmar - Chin woman's blanket.  


Top piece, Naga from Myanmar 


Myanmar - Hemp, a large piece being folded into half.


Southern Laos - a long piece, Kato loin cloth.


No sign of the blanket I set out to find!  But below are a couple pieces of needlework that I still find their execution most inspiring, in both composition and the combination of techniques.  


Northern Thailand - 5 pairs of Ahka woman's old leggings.




An old Yao pleated skirt of which pleats have been taken out.  It's long and heavy, incredible amount of hard works have gone into making this skirt.
