THE DESERT COLLECTION - 10

one of the new desert drawings series .

In the old days in the Arabian Gulf , people used to make their homes and their household from palm trees , as you see here the wife would weave the dry strands of palm leaves together to create what they need , mats to set on , baskets,food cover,dinning mats” the round thing behind her ” used on the floor as a dinning table, also the walls of the home made of the branches of the palm tree.
they also colored some of the strands with natural dyes.

This is what the palm leaves weaving looks like .

Available for sale as

What a talent!! (In this instance, I’m referring to the woman here Al)! lolol!
I can’t imagine how many hours it must take to create such incredibly detailed work. (Still referring to the woman here Al)! lolol!! The ability to suppress restlessness whilst creating, the absolute dedication to their craft, and the inner joy and peace the finished product must produce, is something to truly be admired. (Okay,....that one was for both of you!) lolol! xx
Al Neaimi replied

lol :-) your comment made me smile Magee ,thank you, I do agree that it is very admirable what this women used to do , to walk into a home like this is magical when you realize every inch of the house is crafted by hand , they had no choice back then, that what they found in the desert palm trees , they were real artists.
David Clark

Hi friend ~~- this series is truly wonderful and a nice tribute to the fast fading local culture -~~ nice to something besides 60 story buildings and 12 lane highways ~~- I like that you have included an actual example of the weaving her -~~ really well done—you are an amazing talent – dave

Heidi Norman

I meant to add, how lovely it is, and I really am hopeless with my hands… I have always admired and been enchanted by great crafts people, which she really is! Hx
Al Neaimi replied

Thank you Heidi , back then they would pass on the skills to the younger gerneration , not every one was able to do this , some simply had to buy what they needed from others, this job is shared by men and women.

This is wonderful. It reminds me of the neighbor we had when I was a little girl in Morocco. Her hands were never still and she was tremendously patient.
