First day

Saturday was our first day of weaving for the year. I had not done anything over Christmas and neither had most of the ladies. However one is starting one for her daughter's graduation and has done about three feather rows. It is coming on nicely. Robin Ashton also came with her fantastic muka cloak. It is nearly finished. Every part has a story relating to her whanau so it really will be very very special to them

I am so proud of all the ladies and what they have achieved in the short time they have been weaving. We will be having an exhibition at Matariki this year so that is an incentive for them to get cracking. 

And as for me, I will make a small framed korowai using kereru feathers and then I think I would like to make a big white wedding one with a design in the feathers. Maybe I will do some for hire this year, Dunedin being a University town.
