OUT OF HISTORY
About 20,000 years ago (pretty much the prehistorics) when woven fabric was in- vented, aesthetics already reigned high for early weavers. Grasses of various colors were intentionally added to de- sign geometric shapes for floor mats and nets. This, at a time when life was in- credibly perilous and survival instincts were key. With the men out hunting or gathering, it must have been the women (naturally) that introduced creativity to humanity. Bless you, girls!
