Straw Curves and Spirals

Lake Titicaca Boat Prow

Tabletop

Inspiration Everywhere and Anywhere.
A boat prow by Lake Titicaca Boatbuilders in Peru, and our tabletop at the Ethiopian Restaurant on 9th Street.


I found a Chullo on the boatbuilder.

Quite a vicious looking critter. I mean the prow, not the boatbuilder. Chullos always look so warm, but what do they do about hat head?

Chullos actually hide pointed heads, the skulls of the wearers slowly grow upwards and the skull hardens into a point. This is a little alarming without a hat, so since they never take them off, hat-head isn't a problem.

Really? Pointy skulls? Yikes!

Yes! You must take care when you wear one, that you don't keep it on too long least your skull begin to raise skyward and narrow like a pencil!
