New Zealand Flax / Harakeke art
Posted on August 15th, 2009 by Catrina
New Zealand Flax / Harakeke is the base for these 2 pieces, a flax paper
bag and
a miniature shadow box with the title /tenderness - /created with some
thoughts about gentleness
and fragility.
NZ Flax is a very strong fibre and is an easily renewable source of
plant material.
For this paper I cut the long leafs into short pieces and boiled them before
straining them through a fine mesh. White paper needed to be bleached,
the bag has the natural colour.
