Weavings of the Diné

This thread got me reading my book on Navajo rugs again. It’s quite good.

I love Storm Pattern rugs. About a year before my mom passed she asked my husband and me if we’d pick out a rug for her on our trip to AZ that year. I purchased this one at the Jacob Lake Inn gift shop, and although she got to enjoy it less than a year, it gave her a lot of joy. It now resides on the back of our couch. The design doesn’t have the typical water bugs, but I love the colors.

I’m also adding this link from Twin Rocks Trading Post about a basket. I thought it was very interesting, because the artist is weaving rug designs into her baskets.

And a new for sale old rug on their site that I think is quite unique.

This whole thread is making me figure out how I can fit another Navajo rug into our house :laughing:
