Navajo artistry is usually thought of in terms of weaving, jewelry and painting. In the last decade the art of basketry has blossomed as young weavers take cultural and personal stories and turn them into delightful works of art. Douglas Mesa, north of Monument Valley is the center of this activity. One of man's first technological achievements, the making of baskets has moved from function to art with little change in the process as all materials are still gathered and processed by hand. Twin Rocks Trading Post in Bluff, Utah is at the center of this artistic development. Please visit their site to see many more baskets. www.twinrocks.com
