Wordle image of turks head tag words description

This is a genuine turks head knot made in Minneapolis from a single piece of cord and woven in a pattern based on a mathematical progression. The design is self supporting and completely integrated. It uses a minimal amount of material to form a shape that can fit comfortably around your wrist. The interdependent and interconnected character of the turks head knot is a natural expression of the biological, geological, and cosmic elements that intersect and interact to form a self supporting universe. As in nature there are no loose ends but rather a fabric of interconnected parts that may seem weak when separated but reinforce each other to form an elegant and simple pattern of subtle strength and beauty. See a catalog of colors and design plus a collection of fiber art bracelets in one of the online venues:
