rented the design plate from a neighbor. Alieh:
“I’ll
never copy a design, the owner has rights.”

flowers smile at me. That’s because they are

Expert hands of ‘Susan’ making
knots. Can you notice the knife in her hands? The
knife is sharp and is used to cut the strings.
Her husband had a truck and they had a good life. “I love to weave,
my rugs are my children. I make them look like
brides.” She said. “I make a wish with
each knot. My rugs are my hopes. I go mad when I
finish one. I can’t live without a rug on my
loom. Nobody is able to live without
hope.”

other nations. The Medallion in center of many
rugs also resembles the sun. |
| Boiled in a mixture of water and dying
elements, the wool absorbs color. The better
dying, the more permanent becomes the
