Garlands for a New Year

These leis appeared last week at Elizabeth Perry’s woolgathering, and I just had to make sure that you saw them. They look calligraphic to my eyes.

    Gorgeous. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. And thank you, Elizabeth, for doing such lovely work.

    Oh, I am glad that you like it. It looks to me like an inscription in some ‘top-to-bottom’ (rather than ‘side-to-side’) writing. Whatever it may be, it is beautiful, yes?

    Thank you both.

    The way the light hit those silk leis was beautiful – and the scent from the real flowers in the case which is not in the picture… ah…

    So I painted and listened to two people speaking in Hawai’ian to each other and waited for the second of my three flights back home.
