And the one for Ed. Damn, paua shells are as hard to capture on camera as labradorites, and just as magnificent to work with. 'Stuck in textures'-style painted paua/haliotis pendant, because they live in my head rent free.

What colour are the backs of abalone?
Funniest thing happened today. My dad, his friend and I went free diving for paua (abalone), and we came back to the boat and had a discussion. We were just commenting on the dive, how clear the water was and how calm it was, when we got into an argument about how we find paua. He said it was really easy to find, them being blue/green for him and he can see them easily because of that. I said, no, they're freaking pink, what on earth was he talking about? We then waited, fuming until my dad's friend came back from his dive, and asked him, what colour was the back of paua?
He said, "idiots, they're camouflaged".
And that is how my dad and I came to the realization that we were both colourblind.

A few years prior, I'd been told that tiger worms could be purged and would taste like abalone, the prized shellfish known as paua in New Zealand. They didn't. They tasted like a troll's armpit, an evil flavour borne from something close to the grave. Perhaps the species' name gave a clue as to its palatability: Eisenia fetida. And fetid it tasted. (Apparently even trout find them unpalatable, according to Australia's pre-eminent scientific authority, the CSIRO.)

DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT It's pretty much impossible to get a job as a police officer in Indonesia if you've had your penis enlarged. The ban was applied since the unnatural size causes “hindrance during training,” said a police spokesman in Jakarta.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Papuans use a local technique to achieve the enlargement, wrapping the penis with leaves from the “gatal-gatal” (itchy) tree so that it swells up “like it has been stung by bees,” the expert said.

Penis sheaths, known as koteka, are not related to sex.
A koteka is a traditional penis pocket protector often made from the skin of a pumpkin.
It is commonly worn by mountain-dwelling Papuans for cover and protection.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They are worn by male tribesmen in New Guinea to shield themselves from insect bites in the dense jungles, or store money and tobacco.
Tumblr media
They can sometimes be found at tribal and antiquities shops for $100 - $180.

Both pieces together, I really like how the texture of Stede's jacket and the waves and ornament (based it on Māori pattern, Ngaru) on Ed's pendant look together. And a way to wear the Stede brooch, because I found my old shirt while sorting through clothes. Trying to cheer myself up with the only thing keeping me sane. And I'll definitely paint more things about ofmd

Paua - Painting finished & Sold
I have just completed this Paua (abalone) painting. Capturing those shells is very challenging, I have painted Paua once before and it took a whole day to get it right. And you have to get it right, it’s a very unforgiving subject. 😎 The light, the colours, the blending… a test of my patience & determination 😆 I Overall, ’m loving those colours too, warm goldy greens, teals, turquoises, lime &…
