Printmaking

So we have left Auckland, but this is what I accomplished in the studio.  I worked on it the whole time in wood relief, and am so proud of it! It's an accordian book, so you can either read it like a book, or open it all at once.  The story is one two boys told me in Raratonga.  It goes like this:


(Sorry, they are all sideways.)  There used to be giants on Raratonga.

And they had the biggest mountain in all the Cook Islands.




One time, other giants came and stole the mountiain from the Rartonga giants and brought it to their own island.


But that new island didn't have the biggest mountain because it was cut off, and now that is why Rartonga doesn't have the biggest mountain anymore.



The end!




I have a lot more to update you on, Tongariro National Park and Wellington.  We are heading to Abel Tasman National Park for 3 days on the south island of New Zealand, then we have midterm break (can you believe we are half way through?), and then we are leaving for Australia! Ahh!!
