OH! Can I please snag a spot? <33
Edit: I'd love to get an item for my incoming Fa'e child
Addie. The item I'd like is an ornate belt something like
this.
Here is another view.
The references are almost perfectly lined up to what I have in mind. There are, however, a few minor changes.
-Rather than gold, it's made out of the wood
sydney blue gum. (Leaning towards the darker strips' color.) The connectors, while reinforced with metal wire (not visible), are also wood.
-Instead of being silver/white, the end piece stone on the dangling part of the belt should be made of Australian red stone. (Similar to the red stone in
this picture.)
-The large teeth (four reptilian ones and a mammalian one) on the belt should look aged and show some wear.
Here's a really nice reference. Another one
here.
-The different sections of the belt should retain some form of inlaid design, as seen in the design references, but if you like you are welcome to take liberties. Some common aboriginal symbols
here. Also
here and
here. (Don't feel like you have to use these, though!)
Thank you SO much! ^O^
