We have been learning about traditional methods of making tapa from the mulberry tree. Isabell brought a piece of traditional Tongan tapa so that we could look at the patterns created using different stencils and dyes. She also showed us her woven kiekie that she wears on special occasions.
Hi Room 10 I like The tongan tapa that Isabell made from her family, that looks very nice and beautiful.Miss Buchanan is Isabell happy that her family made this tongan tapa for her?
ReplyDeleteHi Room 10, I really like reading about Isabell's tapa from Tonga. I think Isabell's tapa is very interesting and also I like how they paint the pattens to make the tapa look nice. I think that Isabell's family work really hard to make this tapa. Does Room 10 like Isabell's tapa?
ReplyDeleteHi Room 10, I really like reading your blog post. The patterns on the tapa is very cool and your information was very informative.
ReplyDeleteHi Room 10, I Like your Tapa cloth. It looks incredible with lots of details and patterns. What do the patterns represent?
ReplyDeleteHi Magdalen, Fotu, Valarie and Simon! It's so exciting to read your positive comments and interesting questions. Isabell's tapa is displayed on the wall in Room 10 at the moment. You're welcome to come and take a closer look at it any morning. Isabell will be able to answer your questions next week.
