This is my second surf-tumbled kukui shell lei because it’s a conversation starter everywhere I travel. Even most islanders have to ask. So I had to secure a backup. Each one is so unique and I love the design choice so much! Mahalo.

About TheWhatNaught

Sales 5,890

On Etsy since 2011

Welcome to my Studio! My passion for art started with paint.
Papermaking starts with soaking and blending. My laundry room is perfect for this!
The next step is sheet formation followed by transferring the new waterleaf onto a felt. I like to use textured fabric.
It takes at least a day to dry, sometimes as long as 3 days depending on the season and weather.
I am intrigued by the infinite possibilities of handmade paper!

Work in Progress

My Etsy shop began as a place to sell my original handmade Hawaii St. Nick Christmas ornaments. I started making them in 1982 when my youngest son started Kindergarten. When his son began school in 2011, I decided it was time to get St. Nick out of storage! I hand paint the faces, sew the swim trunks, collect the ironwood pinecone for the body and pose each one in an unique way. Each one is handmade with Aloha and they are collectible!

About the same time I began making Christmas ornaments, I took a papermaking class. When asked about my favorite artistic activity, I always answer, "Papermaking!"
It is a fun process and now that more people are concerned about the environment, it is very "green!" There is something very satisfying about taking discards and transforming them into something new, novel and extraordinary! Handmade paper has unlimited uses.
