Lauhala hat...

My hula sister, Iris, is a lauhala weaver.  She's taken all kinds of

classes and is going to have some of her hats for sale at the upcoming

"Made In Hawaii Festival".  I'd watched her before, but never

really "watched" her.  The other night after John's memorial, we 

went back to Gary & Benita's house for dinner and to watch

the Olympics.  Iris was working on a hat for the upcoming festival.  

I was fascinated by watching her and she was explaining part 

of the process to me.  

I wish I'd had my good camera with me to get some better shots.

Yes, these hats are a real labor of love and worth their price.
