I've taken several weaving and dyeing workshops with Navajo weavers--I have collected Navajo weavings and I cherish each and every one.
Navajo Times had the article and photo of Isabel Deschinny
doing a review of her award winning piece of
Navajo natural dyes and weavings--
Many moons ago I took a natural dyeing workshop
with Isabel in Taos--what great knowledge she
offered. Not only is she a weaver and dyer, but her
mother was Mabel Burnside-Myers! The one and
only, who produced this piece
I have had this wonderful weaving/dyeing chart for years and I searched
and searched to see the maker, to no avail,
then I met Isabel and she told us the story of
her mother's work--each piece is individually woven
on a small loom and Mabel was not given any credit-
no wonder I couldn't find a maker.
So happy to have a maker's name with an outstanding work of art!
