On the island of Vanua Levu, women weave traditional mats out of kuta, a soft pliable fiber. The natural fiber mats are handwoven up to 6’ in diameter and can take a week to finish.Absolutely stunning, edged with Fijian patterns and soft underfoot. It was hard to tear myself away from watching Adi, master weaver, work her magic. @rise_beyond_the_reef_fiji works to support small women’s businesses and help keep alive traditional knowledge……….#fiji #communitymade #handmade #naturalfiber #textiledesign #mats #naturaldyes #naturalcolor #traditionalknowledge #womenempowerment #womensbusiness #wip #creativeprocess #makers #weaving #hands #artisanmade #fijilifestyle
