Shaker Sisters (Quoting from the info posted)"...used special looms to make tapes in different varieties of patterns and colors for chair seats..." utilizing checkerboard, herringbone and striped basketweave designs. We have more than one area dedicated to the history and background of the Shakers up here and each one is interesting and well worth the look.

Life is the pits sometimes, but God and your friends are always there to help you through it.
Thanks PJ for both image and link to the wikipedia site. Very interesting story about the New England Shakers. To me your very nice image supports the story in a wonderful way. Regards, Cornelius

Cornelius was here! (lol) Click HERE to see his work!
The Shakers are settled in New England and in Pennsyvania also Pat...the craftwork was very simple and useful, but well made...this is a good example of their work...gerry

Love Shaker aesthetics and the vivid red against the whitewash really appeals to me. Nice shot PJ.

Very nice shakers PJ! I always liked the way they hung them on the wall, I believe it was to make more room wasn't it? Hell, I don't know, I'm just guessing now. LOL! =)

I love the colours, the shapes, the textures in this... it seems so simple but it says much about the creativity and imagination of the women who made these chairs...

What a very nice piece of artwork. It made me smile. I like that. And if I have to choose - I would like to sit in the middle, please.

I would be happy, seeing you in my galerie. Today I've posted Time of the golden ducks
Such wonderfully practical people the Shakers were and self sufficient too. I love the simplicity of their furnishings and designs. Thanks for presenting this, PJ. A nice series.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
- Hermes
Great composition. Not only interesting but shows history and heritage of the area. Great shot and thanks for sharing.

You composed this beautifully PJ. Red against white with vertical lines aplenty. It really has a lot to pull in the viewer for such a simple image. Nice job old friend.
