Ho'ano Ohana - The Holy Family

Malia, Iesu, Iokepa, Pueo, Honu and Pua'a

Birth Date: Kekemapa 24, 2017 (12-24-17)

Standing in a precious coconut crèche Malia (Virgin Mary) lovingly watches over her baby Iesu (Jesus), who is contently nestled in his nut cradle. Iokepa (Joseph) blows his Pu (conch shell) in the 4 sacred directions to announce the birth of Iesu, the greatest of all blessings.

Iesu, Malia, Iokepa and the coconut crèche are wearing a halo of the Hawaiian Hulu (feather) lei, which is believed to link to the divine. 2 Tiki torches spread their light and warmth throughout the coconut crèche.
Pua'a, the pig, Honu, the turtle and Pueo, the owl have gathered to adore the sweet baby.

In the spirit of Hawaii, the dolls, animals, coconut crèche and accessories were intricately handcrafted with the greatest love and respect for this sacred event.

Malia and Iokepa are about 3” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The bodies are made out of stretch cotton and wired for flexibility. Iesu is about 3/4" tall. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto their faces. Malia, Iokepa and Iesu have tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and belly buttons.

Pueo's and Honu's bodies have been sewn out of faux fur and partially crocheted with embroidery thread. Pua'a was sewn out of faux fur.
All dolls and animals are pinned and or glued to the coconut crèche.
The coconut for the crèche was selected from palm trees at Punalu’u Black Sands Beach. It is hand carved, sanded, polished, and fit to a custom coconut husk base.
All accessories were individually handcrafted.

Malia, Iesu, Iokepa, Pueo, Honu and Pua'a are one of a kind collectible display dolls handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. They come with a certificate of authenticity.

Opua, Dancing with the Wind

Opua (Cloud), the Hula Dancer

Birth Date: Kekemapa 8, 2017 (12/08/17)

Aloha Mai

I come with love.

Opua's Hula honors the miracle of life.

Join her in a celebration of life’s joys and abundance!

As the clouds move to the rhythm of the winds, so does Opua dance in harmony with the Mana (spiritual energy) of the Universe.
Celebrating the glorious magnificence of life, Opua dances the ancient Hawaiian Kahiko Hula.
In the Aloha (compassion) spirit, the Lōkahi (unity) spirit, and the Pono (righteousness) spirit, Opua's dance honors the gods, tells stories about Aumakuas (ancestral guardians), the sacredness of life and respect for all of nature.

Opua's Hula attunes us to spirit and gladdens the heart.

Opua's Tutu (grandmother) is her Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her the powerful movements of the Kahiko Hula.

Tutu wove her Mana and Aloha into Opua's beautiful wrist and head leis. Tutu sewed a red Aloha dress and matching pants and wove a green grass skirt for Opua. Last Tutu adorned Opua's hair with a beautiful white Plumeria flower and wrapped a conch shell necklace around her neck.

Opua 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.

Opua 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.

Opua’s Mana reflects the spirit of Hawaii.

She is ready to be your new friend and dance her way into your heart.
