But the cow brains are easier to come by legally these days.

I've always admired the Indian culture and their beliefs about the earth, sky, sun and moon. Makes sense to me that dancing more would balance the earth. Basketry is a wonderful tradition. I didn't realize that cradle board hide was cured with cow brains!

So no, I didn't do any weaving.

Some are born with an innate ability to create something useful and beautiful from somwthing common. <br />I liked the thought that dancing balances the world, that all people should dance so the world won't tilt on its axis. Maybe more dancing in the world would lessen the extreme violence we're experiencing. Thanks.

It seemed easy during the instruction phase, but it came down to actually doing it, well, it was harder to do than I thought. Frankly, I sucked at it. So, when I read your blog, I had to admire you for accomplishing such a wonderful art. This was such interesting reading. I enjoyed every bit of it, Paty. Loved the pictures you took of the class. So, did you make a basket?Sarah J. McNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749991094677728042noreply@blogger.com
