Mallory graduating in her korowai that represents her whakapapa.
The main body is rooster feathers (teased to look like kiwi) and hard to see in this photo is the bottom of the cloak is kereru, peacock and pheasant in the style of the Gordon tartan to represent her fathers side.
I currently am finishing two other korowai and will do a proper photoshoot of them all once I get them done.
I had forgotten how long the process is and am working to specific dates so no time to stop for pretty photos!
Leonie is an artist living in Whanganui New Zealand using feathers in contempory and traditional Maori weaving for exhibition and sale.
