The aho tapu took nearly all day to complete. The traditional way is that this row must be completed once it is started, so it made for a long day of concentrating. The whatu stitches are repititious but I enjoy the rhythm of it all. Whatu means finger weaving.
I am loving the look of the muka with the embroidery cotton and the organza. Exactly the monochromatic, soft, muted effect I had in my mind. I am on my way!
