Weaving Flowers with Flax

Well, I am deliberately skipping over 26 June for now. That is the day I received moko, and was pretty much the highest point of the journey for me. It brought everything together. I’m still working on how to represent that in video, so in the interest of fresh content I will move on to 27 June.

Today we visited our friends at the Western Institute of Technology at Taranaki, and had a lot of fun singing and having a nice meal together. I didn’t have permission to videotape there, so I will share our weaving tutorial instead.

This video depicts Ruapounamou’s patience as a teacher, and Sue’s beautiful voice. There are enough closeups that if you have access to a flax plant, you can figure out how to make a flower, too.
