Kia ora All.

Cheers, KShaman, Hewey, Toka, Sneaky, Tipua (Ive always been drawn to the pekapeka/manaia form too - more coming..), BenZ (thump me would you?),

Babalu: stone/jade carving really isnt any more difficult than any other sort of carving, you simply need the right tools for the job - which arent as daunting as they may seem either.. A collaboration with the P'pster? Its possible I guess - P'po..?

Havent been able to face the closing stages of the pekapeka so I guess its on hold at present - dont worry, you'll be the first to know once its done! :lol:

In the meantime however, a couple of Maori 'artifacts':

'Kapeu' earrings:

'Mere' pendant:
