Weaving inspirations

I was thinking of some sort of long bag to put brushes and other things in for storage / travel etc.. and did some research online as to what kinds of containers were usually used for that purpose. After doing some searches for anthropology, nomads etc... I came across the term 'torba' which is a long bag nomads use for storing household goods. It is a Turkish term, as far as I have seen.

Links:
  • Household goods of nomads I first found the 'torba' term here and was inspired by the beautiful picture.
  • Thirty Rug Masterpieces from Dudin collection. Very nice, includes some bags
  • A discussion thread that has some beautiful pictures posted in it.
  • Types of Turkomen rugs descriptions etc...
