[Nfb-krafters-korner] Perfection

[Susan Roe]

Odd you should mention God and perfection.  The Navaho Mother godess was 
represented by a spider and the women who wove the Navaho blankets were 
taught so by Mother Spider.  They would often go out in the desert and rub 
their hands through unoccupied spider webbs to increase their talent when 
weaving a blanket.  They also believed that only the Mother Spider could 
weave a perfect blanket, so in order not to upset her by thinking they could 
ever do as well as she could, they made sure to weave some flaw into each 
and every blanket, often as a whole in one corner.
