I made this beautiful cloak in 2009.
It took me hours and hours.
It was a huge but amazing process.
I still remember how proud I was.
My Tupuna (ancestors) worked with me to bring it through.
This is my beautiful cousin Katie wearing it.
I created every single feather from silk I had hand dyed.
The cloak I hand felted from silk and merino.
The inside is hand stitched with my journey of coming out as a Matekite ( seer, psychic, special intuition)
It is customary to give your first cloak away.
