[Nfb-krafters-korner] Guatemalan textiles, straight from the weaver’s hands to yours - The Washington Post

Sharon,
These look lovely.  If you use Duct Tape to stabilize it definitely do it on the inside of the bag where no one else could see it. 

If the outside is fraying and coming apart, then I would have to leave that up to the weavers in the group to help you out with that.  My hunch would be to put the purse in a glass covered box to preserve it or something like a shadow box.  You would not be able to use it if you went this route.

Hi,

If you remember, I asked about duct tape, thinking I could preserve my Guatemalan purse, but apparently it’s not the best way, and how to do it depends on the material it’s made from.  So i looked this up and thought I’d share it with you all.  So, since this well might have been made from puffs of raw cotton spun into thread.

> So, does anyone have an idea of what i can use to keep it together longer?  I think that having chats on international crafting would be great!

Enjoy reading,
