Hi Christine. I'm back from my Indian adventure. I'm so glad that I decided to do the textile art while there - the Gujarati are definitely a people with an understanding of "handwork". Although most of the local people in the Kutch didn't speak much English they all wanted to connect with a stranger who also worked with fabric. So many of the woman wanted to either show me that they, too, knew how to hook, or they wanted to try it.
I'm sending you a few pics of some of the little pieces that I made (designs based on Google Earth screen shots of the region). I'm also including a few shots of your frame in India!
