This is a long Toki about 7cm long. Made from the hardest Pounamu in New Zealand - Kawakawa.
It is a lovely dark green with some really interesting brown and black specks coming through on it...

Nelson Pounamu Kuru - Tear Drop, Greenstone, NZ Jade
This is from a dark smokey piece of Pounamu from the Nelson Region.
It is a Kuru - Tear drop. For me it represents emotion, commonly it is said to encourage knowledge, confidence and independence...

My Carving Studio, Pounamu, Greenstone, NZ Jade
I thought it would be a good idea to share about how and where I have been doing my carving.
I don't really have a dedicated space to the place I am living so have had to make do with where we have space with running water for now. Yep that is the bathroom
It works well enough but it does mean that I need to be able to pack everything up when I am done, no messy workshop yet...
