Torres Strait Islander Crafts
3 October 07
Sorry if the pictures weren’t working earlier. It should be now 
.
Today in my Torres Strait Islander Studies class we got to learn more about the Torres Strait Island culture by learning about and trying some of the weaving crafts made from palm leaves. I really enjoyed it and thought we made some cool things so I though I would share pictures of the finish product with you. Enjoy!
Grasshopper Toy. It has a long stick with which to make it hop along the ground.

Hi, Jenny,
I’m impressed with your artwork! Good thing you’re not an art retard like myself.
I’m glad you had a good break. I really enjoyed looking at the photos. Where did you stay on your trip? With families or in hotels?

Erica!
Haha yeah I’m the crafty type and definitely enjoyed the break from school as usual. We stayed in hostels during our travels – some really nice ones and some rather dodgy ones. Nice hostels are great (especially since it’s a cheaper way to travel) but dodgy ones are … well dodgy
