Dancing the Hula!

 

‘Olena (Yellow Ginger), the Hula Dancer

Birth Date: Mei 28, 2024 (05/28/24)

Aloha Mai

I come with love.

‘Olena’s Hula honors the miracle of creation.

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

Named after the beautiful sweet smelling yellow Ginger flower, ‘Olena dances the ancient Hawaiian Kahiko Hula.
The beautiful movements of her hands and body tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the Menehune Ohana (family).
‘Olena’s traditional Uli’ulis (feather gourds) add sound and excitement to her dance.

Her performance is a magnificent spectacle!

Tutu (grandmother) is ‘Olena’s Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her the powerful movements of the Kahiko Hula.
Together, Tutu and ‘Olena crafted the Ulu’ulis out of wood, bright red and yellow feathers. Tutu blessed the Ulu’ulis with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. They are sacred now. They were created for ‘Olena and only she is allowed to touch them.
Tutu also hand crafted the traditional yellow hula skirt with a matching top and panties. Tutu wove yellow feather leis for ‘Olena’s ankles.
In Hawaii the Hulu (feather) represents spiritual strength, unity and love. It is believed to link to the divine.
Last Tutu put 2 red Plumeria flowers in ‘Olena’s hair.
All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

‘Olena 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 handcrafted.
‘Olena 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. You may gently finger comb her hair.

‘Olena is an original design and comes with a booklet and certificate of authenticity.
She is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

‘Olena 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.

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

‘Olena's Hula teaches about all that is sacred.

La'amaomao, Hawaiian Goddess of the Winds

 

La'a, Goddess of the Wind

Birth Date: Malaki 6, 2023 (03-06-23)

Allow the fresh breezes of La'a to guide you towards

your full potential.

It is a glorious summer day with the perfect Makani (wind) for La'a to fly her beloved Lupe (kite).
She runs along the beach with her black hair flying in the wind. Her kite is sailing, dancing, whirling and swirling in the air.

It is so much fun! La'a could fly her Lupe forever.

La'a's name means 'Sacred'. She is named after La'amaomao, the Goddess of the Winds.
La'a's Amakua (guardian spirit) is the Hīhīmanu (sting ray).
La'a's Kuku (grandfather) built her kite in the image of Hihimanu to enhance La'a's connection to her Aumakua.

La'a’s Tutu (grandmother) wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into La'a's green feather Haku (head lei) and ankle leis. The Hulu (feather) is believed to link to the divine.
Tutu also crafted a Kukui nut and Leho (cowrie) shell lei for La’a. 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.
Then Tutu sewed La'a’s traditional red and yellow Pa’u hula skirt with a matching top and a Bird of Paradise design.
All these things were Tutu's and Kuku's gifts of Aloha (Love) for their beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).
