Imagine mastering a craft at just six years old! 😮 That's exactly what happened with Mehriban Safarova, a dedicated weaver from the historic region of Borchalo in Georgia. For over five decades, she has been creating stunning Borchalo carpets, a traditional Georgian art form woven by hand.
Mehriban learned the intricate art of weaving these beautiful carpets from her mother, embracing the threads of tradition that connect generations. Now, with over 50 years of experience under her belt (or should we say loom?), she's on a mission to pass this cultural heritage to the next generation.
\"Weaving isn't just about making carpets,\" says Mehriban. \"It's about telling stories, preserving our history, and sharing a piece of our soul.\"
In a world that's rapidly modernizing, crafts like Borchalo carpet weaving are rare gems. 🎨✨ Mehriban hopes to inspire young people to pick up the loom and continue the legacy. After all, culture is the ultimate #ThrowbackThursday! 🙌
If you're ever in Georgia, don't miss the chance to explore the rich tapestry of Borchalo's weaving traditions. Who knows? You might just find your new passion! ❤️
