Sitting on the floor in front of her loom up to fourteen hours a day, Marie Burbank Sheppard may weave only six to eight inches on a three foot wide rug in that much time. This intense effort is a labor of love for her as she works the wool yarn she has dyed herself. Raised outline rugs are her trademark, created by using a double weave. Her technical style of design has incorporated up to 44 colors in one rug, usually subtle colors as she loves earth's pastels. This grandmother has won multiple awards at the Gallup Ceremonials and is considered by many experts to be a top weaver. See full biography
