She mainly does celetic work but also dabbles in polynesian stuff too. The design goes waaaay back, Honu or sea turtles we're 'aumakua (spritual guides/ancestors) to differnt families, actually many diferent things are 'aumakua's i.e owls, fish, sharks , rocks,opihi, whateva your family reconized of a deceased family member and gaurdian. The dagger style portaryed protection, so a fuse of these be it my honu or sharks are comman. I neva read the artcle you saw but if the guy when design something similar, it was taken from an aceint polynesian designs.
