Birth Date: Mei 22, 2022 (05/22/22)

Aloha Mai

I come with love.

 Momi 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 delightful sound of Momi’s Ukulele echoes the wisdom of the ancestors.
Her dear sister Kupuna Malu gracefully dances the Hula to the enchanting music of Momi’s Ukulele. 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.

Together, Kupuna Momi and Kupuna Malu honor the Akuas (divine spirits) of the forest.

Momi 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.

Momi's music illuminates life with joy and happiness.

The sound of her Ukulele attunes us to spirit and gladdens the heart.

Momi wears a red Muumuu with a Bird of Paradise flower.

Her white and gray streaked hair bun is adorned with a Plumeria flower, fern and leaf hairpiece.

Momi wears a Kukui nut, Leho (cowrie) shell and Maile leaf lei around her neck. Maile is the lei of eternal love. Kukui represents inner light and spirit revealing itself. Leho shells invoke the protection of the spirits in connection with the strength and the power of the ocean.

Momi 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.

Momi 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!

Momi 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 Momi has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.

Momi is ready to be your new friend and play her way into your heart.

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

Te Fiti, the Goddess of Life inspired by the Moana Movie: 

Birth Date: Mei 4, 2022 (05/04/22)

Te Fiti shines with light and hope. She is the epitome of life and beauty.

Te Fiti was the first entity to appear in the world inhabited only by the ocean. She used her life-giving heart to spread the gift of life across the world, creating multiple islands in Polynesia inhabited by flora, fauna, and humans. Following her vast creation, Te Fiti laid herself to rest and formed her body into an island.

 

Te Fiti represents creation and life. She is the embodiment of the earth.

Te Fiti values nature and the beauty that comes alongside it. She moves with gentle grace and a tranquil expression matching her radiant features.

Te Fiti is selflessness and purity incarnate.

Though she will not hide her displeasure in those who wrong her, she is forgiving to the ones who are willing to redeem themselves.

Te Fiti’s body is covered in lush flora and trees; clusters of flowers adorn her grassy hair similar to a headdress. Her entire body appears to be made of the land itself, with a flowing "dress" made of plants and flora.

Te Fiti is a 10” tall cloth doll. She was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.
The body is made out of doll skin, stuffed with high quality poly fill and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face giving the doll a unique personality. All accessories were individually hand crafted.

Hina, Moon Goddess of Hawaii

 

Hina, Moon Goddess of Hawaii

Birthdate: Mei 4, 2022 (05/04/22)

Hina bestows blessings of new growth, intuition and creativity.

The sacred drumming of the Ipu (gourd) echoes across the 'Aina (land) as Hina chants to the Akuas (spirits) of the moon:

Mahina o hoku

Hoʻike aʻe ʻoe

A i kou nani

Full moon of the night

Reveal your

Beauty

Because of her devotion to the moon’s Mana (spiritual energy), Hina was named after the Hawaiian Goddess of the Moon.
Hina blesses her Menehune Ohana (family) with new growth, intuition and creativity by generously sprinkling the seeds of heaven from her cosmic Ipu upon them.
The Menehunes watch in awe as the heavenly seeds attune them to spirit and gladden their heart.
At night, Hina dwells under the night sky. Feeling like a sparkling diamond shining among the stars, she gets lost in the majestic beauty of the moon.
Hina cradles her celestial Ipu, releasing the stars which are the seeds of the heavens.

Join Hina in planting the seeds of heaven to grow dreams and 

communicate visions to the Mana of the Universe.

Reap what you sow and celebrate your crop!

Hina's Tutu (grandmother) wove her Mana and Aloha into her sweet smelling Puakenikeni flower and Maile Haku (head lei) and wrist leis. Maile is the lei of eternal love. It is believed to link to the divine.
Tutu also sewed Hina’s blue moon dress and matching panties.
Hawaiian gourds grow on a vine. Tutu picked the most beautiful of the Ipus for Hina. After she cleaned and polished it, it became Hina’s celestial Ipu.
All these precious things were Tutu's gifts of Aloha for her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

Hina is a 10” tall cloth doll. She was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. The body is made out of doll skin, stuffed with high quality poly fill and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face giving the doll a unique personality. All accessories were individually hand crafted.

Hina is not dress up dolls. 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. You may gently comb her hair!

Hina 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 Hina has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.

Hina is ready to be your new friends and sprinkle her way into your heart.

Hina inspires us to feel, play, dance and be.
