Honu ~ Detail ~ Hand Stitch on Paint |
Honu is constructed starting with a hand dyed, mono printed cotton. The turtles were created following the paint lines. The found shells, coral and barnickles were added to represent the Hawaiian Islands. The representation of the mother and baby turtle on her back composition are framed on stabbed stiched silk backing.
The artists of the Big Island of Hawaii are touched by the natural spirit of the island.
