Maskmagical...Henna Hands & Moko Masks

These masks, stunning in their simplicity, were made by 6-7 year-olds at Bailey Road School , Auckland as part of a unit studying two different interpretations of tatoo - Maori moko and Indian henna hands. [Although Maskworx does make brown-toned Multimasks] their teacher wanted her young students to learn how to create their own skin-tone effects using squished teabags. A Maori 'moko' was then added using black paper cutouts, very effective results, very achievable for youngsters, very clever way of showing how tatoo travels across cultures!!
