Also known as ~ get pictures NOW. So I wrote da stories awreddy. Here’s da pictures.

My first eva ipu heke.

This is a picture of my ipu heke, my store bought ipu (with black cord) and da ipu I made. I haven’t put a cord on da one I made because it would require a drill. I don’t have one. But if I did have one I’d be too afraid I’d ruin it. Besides the neck is really narrow, its comfortable in my hand, I don’ think it needs one for now. I need to go take drill 101 before I attempt to make any pukas in a gourd.

My ipu heke bag. If you have an ipu heke, you must have a ipu heke bag. Sooooo I created this. Its from scrap material that I had and prequilted material I all ready had too. The black cord was suppose to be used to make a cord for the ipu heke. BUT I was too lazy to sew strips for make the tie, so I just used the cord. So then I had to practice braid 4strands so I used material.

So those are my pictures of my new craft I learned. Cool huh? I have one more small ipu heke I going try try make on my own. My friend and I switched pieces. She had this small gourd and when she paired it with the big gourd, it came out looking like ET. You know da ET Phone home guy. So I told her I had two extra gourds in da dirt and maybe one of mines will work. So I took my 2 gourds ova deya. She took one and she put da ET’s head looking one on da extra one and said “here these match.” So I’m gonna make that. I guess it all ready has a name huh, ET? But it won’t look like ET any more. But its ET’s head. LOL
