This is how it could look
A Karen weaver sits at her back-strap loom beneath a bamboo stilt-house weaving a tunic with diamond and zigzag patterns. Three thread balls in a basket, two finished tunics, a chicken pecks and two children peek from the doorway above. Tea hills behind. A respectful tribute to the Karen of northern Thailand.
