This pattern was inspired by Maori designs. I originally worked a similar design with a series of others on a set of napkins to give to my sister in law from New Zealand. This Fish hook design is a little different with a spiral built into the curve and a woodgrain pattern to fill in the hook. It incorporates two elements:
Hei Matau (Fish hook) is a symbol of prosperity, fertility and safe travel over the sea.
Koru (Spiral) is the symbol of new growth, new life, peace and tranquility.
Included in the pattern are two sizes (5.2 inches x 2.7 inches and 4 inches x 2.1 inches) as well as mirror images of each size.
As usual, it is listed on both Craftsy and Etsy. Come back next week for another eggshell ornament!
