Size: 3/25" H x 3" W
Design: Nā Hoaloha o Lānaʻi
Materials: hemp, waxed linen (12 ply natural, butterscotch)
Notes: Gifted to Sarah Plunkett. Design inspired by the Makaloa mats of Ni'ihau, includes pineapple and kaunaʻoa lei (kaunaʻoa is the flower Lānaʻi). Fibonacci sequence incorporated into kaunaʻoa lei design.
Kaunaʻoa is an interesting plant. It is the Hawaiian "Dodder" or "Cuscuta", related to the Morning Glory. So, it makes for an interesting lei. Even more interesting to turn into a design for a basket. Below are some examples of kaunaʻoa on a beach and used in a lei:
