Tala, Moana's Grandma

Tala

There is a first time for everything and this was the first time I got a special order to create an older woman in the image of Tala, Moana's Grandma. It had never occurred to me before to make a doll as an older person, but it was so much fun and I absolutely fell in love with Tala.





Tala, the Storyteller

Moana's Grandma 



Birth Date: ʻOkakopa 10, 2017 (10-10-17)



 Tala is devoted to the concept of being true to yourself and listening to your heart.

Spirited and independent, Tala is the keeper of the ancient stories. She has a deep knowledge and understanding of her heritage and culture.

Tala is Moana’s beloved and respected Grandma. They both have a special connection to their greatest teacher, the ocean, which bonds them even closer.


Tala's greatest pride and concern is the well-being and happiness of her family.



Moana conveys empowering messages of faith and courage. 

Tala and Moana inspire us to believe in ourselves and persevere.


Tala is quite old and needs the help of her cane for walking.
She wears a grass skirt and an outer skirt with a red, yellow and brown top and matching pants. Her third outer skirt is decorated with a tapa design. Tala wears white earrings. Her  neck is adorned with a magical seashell necklace.

Tala is a 10” tall cloth doll who was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.
Her body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face.

All accessories are individually hand crafted.

Tala is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll. Every bit of her has been lovingly handcrafted, to create a new friend who will last a lifetime. 

Tala reflects the Aloha spirit of Hawaii. 
She is ready to be your new friend and charm her way into your heart.
