112 - 0003 Materials, Harakeke & Maori Language Week

Kia ora tatou, just finished our materials project working with flax. Maori Language week by the way http://www.maori.org/ check it out. If you're into Harakeke "New Zealand Flax" make sure you check out how to make Flax paper on the maori.org site! Some interesting stuff bout flax - its a LAXITIVE so if you're having toiletry troubles get that jelly stuff from the inside of flax stalks and mix it into something sweet an warm. A mild Anaesthetic & Antiseptic too.


Give the picture a click to see some cool things I've done with flax! Including threshing, with wire brushes good technique for rope making!
