My Friday Task! (Koru Designs)

Hi bloggers, welcome back to my blog. Today's Friday task is to do our koru art. Over the past week we have been creating koru art, first we had to draw our design with a pencil, then we had to go over it with a vivid. Once we did that we had to colour it with pastels and make it dark on the edges and slowly fade lighter towards the center of our korus. The last step is to dye our art, and then we are done. Today I finished colouring my art with pastels and then I dyed it with black dye. I had to use three coats of dye so that it was dark enough. Whilst I was waiting for my dye to dry I had to sketch out three designs of a koru necklace and then practice molding it with playdough. My final design is the heart, these took a while because it was actually really hard to get it to look nice and mould it properly. The final design I chose is the heart koru, my design symbolises love, my family together. The two spirals at the top of my heart represent being together as a family. Then we had to write what our necklace symbolises and what the meaning is to us. This was an overall fun and challenging task and took up most of my Friday. Have you created a koru design before? Or a koru design necklace?
