my first go at the hand loom...
"Ancient texts tell us that the gods created and fashioned the universe like the weaving of a never ending roll of cloth."
"According to the Upanishads it is the thread (sutra) that links man to the Gods. The thread is at one and the same time the soul (atma) and the vital force (prana)...Woven together, the threads of the warp and the weft represent the symbiosis between individual and the universal soul..."
(quotes taken from India Sutra, on the Magic Trail of Textile by Berenice Ellena)
