An order of 15 felt salusalu (Fijian garlands) requires 360 rectangular tabs, 180 small leaves, 105 seamed long leaves, 90 individually rolled ‘rosi’ flowers and 30 meters of ric-rac trim.
30 rosi down, 60 to go.

Have been working on a #salusalu commission for the last two days, a deceivingly simple process that involves cutting, sewing & attaching 120 felt tabs, 95 hand-cut leaves, 30 stylised rosi (rose motifs) + 10 meters of Fiji blue Ric Rac trim 🩵
Love seeing these salusalu head out into the world!
West Papua on the brain today, freedom for West Papua always in my heart.
