mbuti pygmy ceremonial bark cloth
bark cloth, fruit juice fixative or fruit juice ink, charcoal
.....
I was sneaky and took these photos yesterday at the Tribal Textile and Arts Show.
I fell hard for the rhythmic lines and pattern of the bark cloth and had to get a snap.
Thank goodness for the camera or else I'd still be standing there.
Oh, and how about that fruit juice ink - love that.

you are so right!
hah-haa, i do know the feeling, still standing there without the camera...
ooh! i might have had to take a picture too! and your camera did not let you down!
hope it's a good weekend so far!
I bought some cards with African monochrome geometric patterns that are quite similar to those on bark cloth - I'll have to check what tribe they're from!
that is just great. fruit juice ink. neat.
gorgeous!
Mind if I dance it?!
