Carving bones goes a long way back. We will give you a bit of history and short descriptions about our carvings. We also have interesting links to other sites. We wrap our carvings in 'tapa cloth'. Tapa is NOT a Maori medium, but it represents the background of our carvers, being born on one of the Pacific Islands.
Tapa cloth is made from the inner bark of a tree, the paper mulberry tree.
Tapa cloth is a traditional handicraft and art form in the Pacific Islands. The background image on our site is the artwork of one of our very talented New Zealand artists, Fern Petrie . Fern is part-Maori and lives in Auckland.
