A set of 5 folded notecards with envelopes, one of each design: ʻUlu, Hala, ʻIwa, ʻIlima and Ka ʻIwa Hulu.
About the designs
- Hala: sketched in our backyard, from the hala tree that grows there.
- ʻUlu: a new version of our ʻulu design, drawn after studies of ʻulu leaves on walks around the UH campus.
- ʻIwa: from watching ʻiwa fly over our Kailua home. The first studies were done in 2007.
- ʻIlima: our original ʻIlima print, first designed in 2012.
- Ka ʻIwa Hulu: the words of “Ka ʻIwa Hulu ʻEna Kiʻi Mākālei,” a mele composed in 1981 by Kīhei de Silva and his family for Hālau Mōhala ʻIlima. The hālau, under the direction of Kumu Mapuana de Silva, performed it at that year’s Merrie Monarch Festival. Behind the words is an 1875 Hawaiian Government Survey map of Kailua, Oʻahu, drawn by surveyor C. J. Lyons.
A2 size, 5.5 x 4.25 inches. Blank inside.
