I'm going to find a good piece of wood in the forest this weekend. It will be used to make my first porcupine quills #weaving #loom - next Wednesday.

"On the northern edge of Los Altos, Mexico, is the municipality of Pantelhó. With cities and villages situated in the valleys of tropical, mountainous terrain, Pantelhó is also home to communities of Tzotzil-speaking Mayan artisans who weave distinctive, backstrap-loomed textiles. Their traditional huipil design features narrow, alternating stripes of red and white, decorated by multicolored bands of embroidery around the neckline and embroidered chevrons at the sleeves. Toads, stars, and other symbols are either woven or embroidered onto the stripes in vertical columns. Weavers of contemporary Pantelhó blusas incorporate vibrant pinks, greens, purples, and other colors made possible by modern threads, creating some of the most distinctive textiles in Chiapas.

Saw this old article come across the timeline:

https://theonion.com/cool-dad-raising-daughter-on-media-that-will-put-her-en-1819572981/

I'm sure this is just a coincidence, but I can't help finding it horrifically funny that they used the name "Paul Campbell." Paul Campbell was a pseudonym used by the Weavers for their writing, and of course, the Weavers played the music (by then 30 to 40 years old), that I listened to in my teen years and which put me hopelessly out of touch with my generation.

Cool Dad Raising Daughter On Media That Will Put Her Entirely Out Of Touch With Her Generation

RENTON, WA—Local man Paul Campbell confirmed Saturday he was raising his daughter Emma on a variety of media carefully selected to help her cultivate an appreciation for artistic quality, a move that will reportedly put the 12-year-old girl hopelessly out of touch with her generation.

""In the past the weaving process was very arduous. My grandmother told me that they used cotton; they didn't buy yarn as we do now; they had to prepare everything. I don't know where they got it; only that they had a place where they prepared the cotton and then they wove the blouses and the men's clothing. We no longer have to do all that. Now we buy the thread in the stores; it is ready to use and we only have to make balls and can weave it quickly. We cannot compare the work of our grandmothers with the work we do today. Life has changed, but I don't know if it has improved or worsened." -Magdalena López López, Weaver, Jolom Mayaetik, Weaving Chiapas: Maya Women's Lives in a Changing World.
