These are a few of the smaller ones we have. Sorry for the quality and the amateur ms paint modifications. Incriminating evidence and all. ;)

My favorite rug is the last one. If you look closely on the center left portion of the rug you can see the flaw. This is a deliberate mistake. All Navajo rugs have them. This is so the weaver's creativity isn't trapped within the rug. It allows it to "escape" the rug.

edit: I told you I wouldn't be able to sleep.

i like the first one the most, i'm not sure why. it's not visually familiar, but something about it evokes smell memories from my childhood and makes me feel good.

They all tell a story. You just have to know how to read it.

...While the trained slugs were carrying the images through my awesomely slow uplink (one bit at a time), I looked at mine for the Flaw but could not find. Enough use blemishes have been added that the spirits can move in&out as through a colonnade by now! cn

Your rug is very beautiful. I call those colors 'winter colors'. Everything in tones of dark brown, beige, cream; the colors of winter.

I had gone to a trade school with a navajo indian and he said that he and others deliberately add flaws to their art because they sell better. It was amazing to watch him work, he cut out a silver charm with small intricate details in just a few seconds using a small saw.

Sorry about that. I didn't want to completely hijack that other thread. LOL

I love Navajo artistry. Especially the folk art. I do, however, absolutely hate Kachinas. We have butt loads of those too. All over the house. Just waiting. Plotting. Scheming. Planning my demise.
