Until I saw this amazing sari weaving machine, I hadn't appreciated the time and effort put into each sari. Even the simplest designs take at least one week to complete. The machine looks very complex, with some type of code at the top and strings coming out of everywhere. It's like a mix of a harp and an organ.
Unrelated to weaving saris, this pretty peacock was on display at the mall, made up of flower petals. I actually wasn't sure if I could even take pictures in the mall, so I was surprised when they were actually very happy to let me do it.
Wow, that looks like a complex machine! Were you able to get a grasp on how it works by the time you left? What a pretty peacock :)
ReplyDeleteOh I tried... but there were way too many strings attached so I couldn't understand where it even began. But it was really interesting to watch him weave the silk!
