  • The Steps pattern is inspired by a woman's daily journey up the mountain steps. Everyday she comes down the steps to collect water and the things that she needs to sustain her family. She carries them back up to her house on the mountain side, sometimes walking alone and sometimes with friends. They share stories and laugh, bringing joy to a task that would otherwise be hard.

    This Bilum was lovingly woven by Salome Park. Salome is married with five children. Her eldest daughter, Rachel, 15, has started to learn the craft from her mother after school. Salome's husband is currently setting up a nature park for tourists in Goroka, meanwhile Salome weaves whenever she can to support the family's income.
