On a recent walk along Hokitika beach, I found this beautiful piece of pounamu (jade). It fitted my hand well and after a few days of handling it, I realised that with a bit of sanding, it would make a fantastic hapine tool. This is the process of softening the harakeke ready for weaving. My wonderful soulmate sanded an edge on it for me and it works a dream. I couldn't be happier.

My pā harakeke. I have used the past few weeks of Covid-19 time to progressively clean up all the bushes in my main pā harakeke leaving three leaves per fan. Just one to go. Have used some of the harvested material along the way, the rest prepared and stored for using later.

Work in progress. Great to be back in the studio. Like many others, I have spent much of the last four weeks in lockdown gardening, processing the harvest and cooking. I have also done the most thorough clean up ever of my pā harakeke and am now harvesting and preparing material for using in Winter.
