* Notice about the title »The Spirit Line« (Navajo Indians)
... to make something that is perfect means there is no more room for improvement ... if a weaver, weaves a perfect rug, ... she makes a little mistake on purpose – an imperfection – often we see a litter line which the Navajo call a spirit line that extends to the edge of a rug through the borders ...
* »The Spirit Line« Plant-Pigments Indigo
