Navajo Weaver
Meet Nanabah Aragon, a very talented traditional Navajo weaver. She’s at work on one of her spectacular rugs and was very gracious to allow me to take her photo while she was at work. She is one of a few weavers that were at the Indian Fair & Market at the Heard Museum.

Beautiful photo. Good job!
look at that tangle of yarns spilling out of the basket! and that beautiful jacket (?) on the back of the chair.
The rug full of human energy and work. What can be better.
Wonderful photo! I love the look of the rug.
Nice photo, Sharon. Some of the CDP participants are getting more confidence about asking subjects if it is OK to take their pictures. Glad you did.
These are very sought after rugs and can be quite valuable. I hope that some of the younger generation are learning this art form. This is a nice picture of an artist hard at work.
I have the utmost respect for weavers - their work is so labour intensive! Nice shot of a master at work!
I'm in awe of the skill of these women. We've saw Navajo women weave rugs in northern Arizona years ago. That Indian Fair and Market must have been interesting and a lot of fun!
I'm pretty sure that rug is a beauty, as is the crafter.
This is one of the many reasons why I love the Southwest! the textiles and weaving are superb. I also love her jewelry...another craft that beautifies.
How nice of her to allow you to take her picture. Such a talent that I hope is being passed down to new generations.
Such patience that would take! A true artist.
