Tivaevae Art
Tivaevae art originates in the Cook Islands and is usually handcrafted by women.
Tivaevae are seen/used during; Weddings, Birthdays, Events, Special occasions etc
The patterns usually represent; Stitched Love. Women that quilt these tivaevae have taken so much time maybe every 2 hours or more a day. After it is finished, they share it with the next generation to the next.
Tivaevae are similar to other craft forms such as; Tukutuku Panels, Tivaevae Manu.
Tivaevae brings women together and connect with each other while weaving the Tivaevae sheets.
Tivaevae can be made for a sheet, clothes, art, shelter etc....
Today, we made our own versions of tivaevae, using paper.
Here is my final tivaevae.
