nothing screams cebuano quite like trying to google traditional textile patterns and getting search results for tourist destinations lmao
#mine.txt#oceanhero i love you but this isnt very helpful#theres results for textile patterns dont get me wrong but none of them are what im looking for#narra studio sells a handbook for traditional handwoven patterns throughout the years but#1.) it seems to be general filipino textile patterns but since the studio is luzon-based itll most likely favor luzon patterns despite that#and 2.) its $40 which is around PHP2;250 and i dont have that kind of money#it seems my only option is to go around cebu buying traditional garb which. is a Much taller order than it sounds#also im not very good at identifying the differences between native patterns and i dont wanna accidentally appropriate indigenous ones#for my art (which is the secondary reason im trying to look for native patterns)#oh looked at narra studios about page and theres a number of nonluzon groups/places there that im guessing are where their workers belong t#but im not a part of any of them im sugbuhanon lol#sugbuhanon literally just translates to cebuano but i didnt want it to be confusing since there are indigenous groups who live in cebu#and are therefore called cebuanos but then theres the non-indigenous group called cebuanos who may or may not live in cebu#the confusingness is cause of the fact we're divided according to ethnolinguistics lol#so ya got cebuanos who arent cebuanos and cebuanos who live in mindanao
