The Mat Weaver
An old woman weaves a wide reed mat outside her hut, bundles of unworked reed stacked beside the open door, her hands mid-crossing over a pattern already half-finished. The linework in the mat itself is dense and exact, everything around it left looser.

The story
Set in a study among books and quiet, private work of a different kind. She is drawn at the point where the pattern becomes legible — enough of the mat finished that you can already see what the whole thing will be.
