 At our Basket Guild meeting, the speaker was David McLanahan, who is a traveler and collector of SE Asian textile art. He has a store in Seattle: Jungle Arts.  He brought a lot of baskets and other items, along with his friend, the owner of the Ancient Grounds gallery in Seattle, who also brought baskets. Above is a hat adorned with bird wings and feet.
 Most of the work is from Borneo, and the work and details are incredible. He had a great slide show with some video clips showing the artists working, and also the musicians.



David is the man in the gray shirt at the back, standing with his arms crossed.
