These are the new African animals designs being woven at the cooperative in Rooiboklaagte, Limpopo Province, South Africa at this moment. The images come from my memory of animals in the bush - the gentleness of the giraffes munching leaves, the way the mother elephant protects her baby and the ever curious zebra. My friend Patsy Helmetag created the graphics from my drawings and we are looking forward to seeing what master weaver Lindy creates in wool from these images.
Pictured first are the simple graphic in rugs the colors of Africa without the animals. And then the animals join the scene!
