We were thinking and thinking, always thinking as we were carving, and learning, and I decided to make a carving like a ngintaka (perentie lizard), making its feet and hands, carving its head and a long tail and it turned out really well.

I then used wire to burn the walka (design) on it, we were just learning this skill. Later we used it to decorate wira - small bowls - just like our grandmothers had made in the past.

After this we began to talk about how best to make the craft and to take it to places where we could sell it. And we've taken it to exhibitions where many people have bought a lot of punu, which is really wonderful.
