The weavers have lately been making shoulder bags to sell and experimenting with traditional and non traditional color combinations. They weave straps for the bags palcing two warps on the loom at atime as they are not used to weaving such narrow piece on their enormous looms. Having two bands on the loom at once helps balance things out. A left you can see the tiny temple fashioned from a piece of bamboo much the same as that used by the weavers in coastal Ecuador with whom I studied.
