Tāwhirimsmātea making himself felt here in Tāmaki Makaurau i te rā nei. #Atua #TeAoMāori

#WIP of #LoomBeaded #Taniwha. This half-face represents #Whataitai. I’ll be making another half-face for #Ngake.

My daughter is officially a college student.

I also got to attend my first #pōwhiri ever. I’d really like to find out if there is an organisation here in #TeWhanganuiATara / #Wellington / #Pōneke where I can learn more about #TeAoMaōri.

Reading about wāhine atua led me to Te Awa Atua nā Ngāhua Murphy. I do adore Gavin Bishop's book on atua hoki. #pānui #pukapuka #GavinBishop #DrNgāhuiaMurphy #TeAoMāori #Mātauranga #Indigenisation #TeReoMāori #WāhineAtua

Using this time before Rākaunui for some planning. I love digital planners.

Today I spent the morning making digital stickers.

Stickers made in @canva and I have a sticker album in photos on my ipad. Other stickers made in @procreate. So much fun.

Also reading Dr Hinemoa Elder's pukapuka Wawata. Great to add to maramataka reference books. #Staycation #TeAoMāori #TeReoMāori #hauora

Wearing art nā Xoë Hall Unfuckening #TeAoMāori

Three things that excited us (my 13yo daughter and myself) in #Avatar2:
1) #TaMoko
2) #Paua
3) #Pūkana

We just really loved the #TeAoMāori touches to it.

#AtaMārie. Professor Mātāmua shared this pic on Instagram, working with #kaitiaki to restore the longfin eel population and habitat.

Check out that thicc māmā tuna, almost ready to head for the moana.

I try to keep my hair education sharp, having been so long out of polytech. We did a section on different cultures' approach to hair, including of course from #TeAoMāori. It's good to know for clients' sake, and honestly it's just fascinating. I could do a #PhD on the anthropology of personal adornment if I had more time, organisational skills and deep-seated masochism, lol

Anyway, bookmarking this for later 🔖 #hairdressing
