Plaiting in paradise by Dianne Buffett

A guide to the traditional Norfolk Island art of plaiting. This book guides you through the fundamentals of plaiting and ways to create your own plait.

You will learn how to collect Moo-oo from the sides of cliffs, banana bark and corn husk from vegetable gardens, flax from creeks and palms from just about any corner of the island.

Preparation, plaiting and the sewing of these materials is all shown 'how to' in this beautifully illustrated book.

Plaiting has been a part of Norfolk Island history for over 150 years and is a treasured tradition that's been handed down through the generations.
