A crash course in changing the world.
The Spanish riata is a long braided rope made of rawhide. It is tough, stiff and excellent for roping cattle. I chose this project for my Secret Object because it brings to mind the early days of European settlement in California.
I used brown paper packing tape instead of rawhide. I colored the center strip brown to represent the indigenous people of California who were pressed into service on the ranchos.
I used a simple three plait braid instead of the four-plait or six-plait braid used in traditional riata construction.
