TRADITIONS PAST AND FUTURE

KENTE WEAVING.....The longer we are here the more beautiful the customs are to see and understand. Color, Kente cloth, traditions and weavers that design intricate patterns as the skill has been passed down to them by their fathers. It's a tradition that is passed down to sons and not daughters. It's hard to believe that someone eons ago figured out how to take long strands of dyed thread with very basic wooden pieces and design some of the most beautiful cloth you will ever see. We are collecting strips and deciding later what we will do with them. The colors and design put me in a trance!
