We've collected some masterpiece Hmong storycloths over the years that feature different ethnic groups that are quite large that we think would be great for schools or businesses to purchase to show their commitment to all the Lao refugees we often find in our communities in schools, Hmong, Mien, Lao, Khmu, but realize for individuals these storycloths would be too large for most homes. And so what we did last December was take a design idea we had to the Vientiane Hmong Women's Cooperative and ordered 12 storycloths in our most popular size, 34 x 46 inches, vertical. They're in a wide assortment of colors and there is no where else you can purchase storycloths like these, period.
We love these storycloths! There is so much depicted in these storycloths, from Lao plowing their rice paddies with water buffalo and the transplanting of rice seedlings, to Hmong harvesting rice on the mountainsides, to Khmu pounding rice, and Mien engaged in various traditional activities. And one certainly can't miss That Luang, the national symbol of Laos with people giving alms to the monks, and the growing importance of education in Laos is shown with students going to school. A microcosm of life in Laos, they are true works of art...
