Making some gifts for people I'm fond of.
Rangiora leaf
My dad loved to tell the story of sending his flatmate a rangiora leaf as a postcard from the bush, and he added the postscript, "this leaf is called bushman's friend. If you don't know why, roll it up and smoke it."
(this was a joke. I don't know that it's poisonous or anything but don't smoke things you find in the bush. History does not record whether the flatmate smoked the rangiora leaf but the reason why it is called that in English is totally unrelated)
Here is an in-progress shot. I'm surprised to find I seem to have only taken one in progress picture of this project considering I started it last August some time. Well good things take time!

I don't think I did too badly
