The Silk Road

While I was reformating my computer and cleaning up my files I found the slideshow for The Silk Road, last year's Folklife Festival at the Smithsonian. It was so hot and dry last July - you felt like you were on the Silk Road with the amount of dust that was kicking up. Hard to conjure up that feeling with the cool, damp, dreary days we've been having lately. Of course, with 21 school days until vacation, I guess it's good it doesn't feel like summer.

I took the blanket off the loom. I'll post pictures after I twist the fringe and wash it.
