After traveling to the Darien Jungle of Panama I have a few exquisite hands made pieces that the women hand woven from palm leaves. The process is tedious.
They start by collecting the palm leaves then while fresh, they peel them lengthwise into strands.
They then let them dry on a clothes line.
Then they make boiling pots of gathered leaves/ roots to dye the palm strands.
Then let them dry.
The creative process begins with each women as they weave from the center out to create their masterpiece.
Each piece was purchased in the Darien Jungle (in the Sambu River Region) directly from the women who made it!
Thank you for visiting Soulstice, your purchase helps families in the Darien Jungle as well as the USA.💓
