Hawaii - Kapa, Adzes, Rope, Lei-making, Shark Teeth...(28FFEB2009)

Aloha,

this was a Hawaiian Culture kine day. From Kapa to Kapu, Lei-making and all sorts of other crafts and skills.


We start with shark-toothed weapons:



Kapa cloth and dyes:



Hawaiian rain gear:



Fibers and rope-making:



Kalo (a.k.a. Taro):





Adzes (Stone tools):



And, finally, lei-making:






And more lei-making:



And that wraps up a perfectly fun and engaging Saturday afternoon.
