Aloha Fairies
After many magical meanders on the Big Island of Hawaii we had pockets full of treasures. Many of the bits and pieces we collected were incorporated into these Aloha Fairies. I made little heads using air-drying clay which I painted. The "skeletons" are made of pipe cleaners. I used some freshly harvested cotton for white hair. For the dark ones, I selected some buffalo hair from my medicine bag. Every fairy has a shell on it's head, many have coconut fiber clothing. We took the fairies on an adventure to visit the birth place of Kamehameha I and see the original statue of the King.
