Smiling happily, Tutu (grandma) Lulu (Peace) walks slowly and peacefully through the enchanting Ohia forest. She is looking for her favorite Lehua flowers, the beautiful magical blossoms of the indigenous Hawaiian Ohia Tree, which is the first form of life to grow directly out of the hardened black lava. Lehua means 'Flower of the Gods'. Her Mo’opuna Kane (grandson)Pono is running around right beside her. He picks up all the rocks, nuts and fruits that look special to him and carefully puts them in the pouch Tutu (grandma) crocheted for him. In Hawaii the Menehunes are often called "The Little People of the Secret Power" and referred to as the legendary, original inhabitants of the islands. Menehunes are mystical, shy little creatures who hide in secret places of the forest during the day, and perform their magic at night under the glow of the moon. Many People in Hawaii have actually seen Menehunes. Lulu is a Kupuna, one of the older people honored with Aloha as grandparents and ancestors by all. Kupunas are the source of experience, knowledge, guidance, strength and inspiration to the next generations. |

Tutu Lulu sewed her black dress with a big Hibiscus flower design. She crocheted a turquoise collar and matching shoes for herself. Last Lulu stuck a big turquoise bow into her white hair. Lulu is about 7” tall and was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. Her body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face giving the doll a unique personality. All accessories were individually hand crafted. Lulu is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her. |
