The traditional Indian textile patterns seen above were taken from a book-cd I had out on loan from the library some time ago. Unfortunately, I don't recall the title, but these aren't exactly secret or unique designs.
If you've ever been to India, some of these simple patterns might be familiar. They constitute a small sampling from a dynamic parade of unrelenting culture: the literal and metaphorical fabric of an astonishing Indian society. There are more examples in the set.
