Another skill I have been learning over the past year is how to make flax bags, and how to flax weave. It is a very special skill to me, as I am from Maori Heritage. Here are some of the practice flax weaving I have done recently....slowly I am improving.
These are two small bags. Flax with paua shells.
Dried flax, head band/ curtain tie.
Medium sized bag. I am still working on need to finish the tabs at the top to seal the bag.
