"Am sending a picture of two of my most favorite purchases from Twin Rocks. They are Peggy Black baskets, usually displayed behind glass but would not photograph well that way.
They are, to us, symbolic of our Navajo friends in Chinle, who we became acquainted with through Futures for Children with the sponsorship of the eldest daughter. The baskets come to life for us with the larger one re-presenting the parents or grandparents of the six children, who are woven into the smaller basket. The two baskets sit on a small rug that Earlene's grandmother made. We look at these baskets and feel the beauty and harmony of the Navajo way."
