Blasts from My Past

This is a grouping of weavings from my past that I wanted to share with you. I am bringing them out of the Vault and offering them for sale.  Some of the photographs and weavings are from 30 years ago plus???  You will see examples of weavings as tight, fine, and as beautiful as a Navajo weaving can be.  I hope you will enjoy this selection- stay tuned.
