PNG car wash (thought you'd like this one, Dad)

Mother making a bilum. There are many kinds of bilums and countless designs. She told me if she works all day she could possible do this in a week, but complicated ones can take 1-3 months to make.

Washing in the river
So, Biff, do you have to wash in the river?
ReplyDeletePlease define bilum and what do they do with it when they are done?
ReplyDeleteAunt Cathy -- I am living in a very Americanized house on station with running water. So unless I am tubing down a river, I do not wash in the river.
ReplyDeleteMom - bilum is sort of like a purse or bag depending on the size. They can be used as a purse, or can be large enough to carry your baby around in.
