Had the pleasure of visiting @ockpoptok which is a women-owned and operated enterprise, cultural arts center and silk farm, located on the actual historic Silk Road. “Ock Pop Tock” literally translates to: “East meets West“. I attended a workshop and created a few fun items including a bobbin of silk thread, a Dreamcatcher and a pom-pom bracelet. The silk worms are grown on the farm and so are the natural plants and trees made into dyes including lemongrass, indigo, sappan, teak, turmeric and more, to create the vibrant silk colors that you see here. #michelebenjamin #jewelry #exchangeourworld #mekong #ockpoptok #laos #silkroad #silk #indigo (at Ock Pop Tok) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byy178WJCuI/?igshid=x2zuir24g4l3

Memories of Loas, Luang Prabang. A slower life, peaceful monks, artisans, silk looms, Mekong River, the best cuisine, hot tropical lusciousness #sandiegodesigner #travel #loas #ockpoptok
