Cultural Narrative:

That's a tiny one, looks like something happened with the design, could have been a beginner or someone finished it off. That could be the mark for the person that made it. Arlita Rhoan

The man on this one doesn't have a head. I made lots of mistakes like that when I first started. You run out of room. They braided the top, but didn't cut off the ties. Valerie Switzler

The colors are not bleeding, they are not painted, it's natural bear grass. Suzie Slockish
