Rag rugs in Morocco

They're called boucherouite and they're woven, rather than hooked - but it's that same thrifty spirit and love of making beautiful things at work. There's an article about them (with more photos) at http://handeyemagazine.com/content/mushmina.

Rag rugging in The Gambia

More photos of Gambian rugs and ruggers are at makings.co.uk, which is another source of rag rugging tools.

I found the site while looking for information on the "Browns tool" but that should be a separate post!

From Morocco

This is a "boucherouite" (boo-shay-REET) rug, made in Morocco - made of torn and used clothing. Read more about these in a NY Times article about an exhibition earlier this year, "Rags to Richesse". There are photos with the article, and a slide show.
