Tapatoru the maori name for triangle. This design is a taniko pattern with two
triangles upside down and a diamond on the outside, the colours are bold and
the use of layer style effects is very beautiful.

Koru (spiral)
These Maori Designs are the Koru is the Beginning of Life. The Maori have taken their symbolism from the unfurled new leaf of the silver fern. It depicts new beginnings, growth and harmony. New Zealand is the home of the most beautiful ferns in the world

This design represents the taniko patterns the diamond, shape, the triangle
shape, and the koru inside a triangle represents the well-being of one's journey
through life

Mosaic Magic

this week for reading we had to research about mosaic artwork. here are the three pieces that i picked for inspiration.

Mmmmmmm...

Recently we have been doing free writing to try and up our level of writing. so here is what i wrote about a sandwich eulogy.

Dear sandwich, i knew this day would come. But if it was only it was easier to explain this to you. You are about to be eaten. I know, i know that you thought you would last longer but today is just not your lucky day. I love you, welllll.. I love the taste of you. I love all the creamy mayo, the finely seasoned tomatoes, the crunchy green lettuce. And don’t get me started on the bread. Ohhhh graduates.  hoho. The bread is left in the oven with olive oil saturating the dryness. Once its pulled out all you wanna do is bite the crunchy golden outsides. So that is what i am going to do. I am going to take the first bite. Mmmm.. so delicious. HAHAHHAHHAHHAAHAHHA die sandwich. I will most likely  cut you in half because then you are much easier to eat but by you will already be in full, little, stomach.
