I live in Whanagaparaoa [fang-a-pa-ro-a] and it took me over a year of living in NZ to learn how to spell it out when someone asked me on the phone. More 'a's than one would think was actually necessary in a word?
In NZ 'Wh' is generally pronounced 'F'. So I still chuckle when the TV weather guy/gal mentions 'Whakatane' etc, etc. Maybe that will go away if I ever get citizenship here?
Materials used are merino wool (wet felted & needle felted), copper (etched, formed, prismacolor, patina), brass microscrews, purple acrylic sheet, pearls & a designer cut piece of beautiful fossil coral (with perfectly preserved 'flower heads).

Splendid breastplate.
Thanks Susan!
You know, I can't remember if I've ever posted to tell you how much I enjoy every single thing that you make! You are such a unique artist!
I hope your sense of humour doesn't go away if you get citizenship!
Thank you so much Shay! That means a great deal to me for you to take the trouble to say that.
Pam - maybe they extract it at the official ceremony?

Oh yes Susan! I think he would be very happy living on that!
I just found your fb and website and am knocked out by your creations.
Thanks so much Theresa! I love your bright paintings especially the ones with the skeletons - and wow, your bead art!
Damn! That is a damn fine piece.
