ON THE COVER: TAPESTRY OF A WEAVER. Linda Taylor (Diné), master weaver, creates tapestries for Indian art shows throughout the Southwest. This particular tapestry took numerous awards. For certain Indian art shows, Taylor’s weavings include her initials “LT” because the rules state that artists must prove that they made the art. This weaving is based on a photograph Taylor took of her mother.
