Kupuna Melia, the Hula Dancer

 

Kupuna Melia (Plumeria), the Hula Dancer

Birth Date: Pepeluali 20, 2021 (02/20/21)

Aloha Mai

I come with love.

Melia connects our hearts and actions with Aloha.

Focus on your higher purpose, choose wisely and you will grow, 

flourish and blossom in unlimited possibilities!

High up in the Kaiholena Mountains the divine rhythm of Koko’s Ipu echoes the wisdom of the ancestors.

Kupuna Melia gracefully dances the Hula honoring the Akuas (divine spirits) of the forest.
The graceful movements of her hands and body tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the traditions of the Hawaiian people.

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

Melia is a Kupuna, one of the older people honored with Aloha as grandparents and ancestors by all. Kupunas are the source of experience, knowledge, guidance, strength and inspiration to the next generations.
They are a blessing being the ones we came from, who have lived before us and who we live for today.

Melia wears a blue Muumuu with a yellow Plumeria flower design. Her white hair bun is adorned with a Plumeria flower, fern and leaf hairpiece.
Melia wears a Kukui nut, conch shell and Maile leaf lei around her neck. Maile is the lei of eternal love. Kukui represents inner light and spirit revealing itself.

Melia 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 were individually hand crafted.
Melia is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her. Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair. Do not brush the hair!

Melia is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll and comes with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. She is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

Every bit of Melia has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.

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

Melia’s Mana attunes us to the spirit of Aloha.
