Bayeta *

an east meets west show
the Navaho laid low-
on western art nouveau

* a baize and handspun wool blanket-widely pictured in Stikley's Arts& Crafts mag 'Craftsman'

We see a lot of this kind of art, around the southwest of course....but it does have the feel and blends so well with the Arts & Craft style of furnishing....colors and designs, seem so compatible.
