The Trickster

The Trickster

The sun climbs out of the pit of night and travels more slowly. Maui, a trickster character, was said to have used his lasso to catch the legs of the sun so that there would be more daylight for his mother Hina to finish her work. This is the Hawaiian String Figure kipuka hele la Maui (lasso of Maui.)

I first made the string figure with a black loop of string and mounted it. I then tangled around it. Sending you blessings of success in all of the good work you do to help make this world a better place.
