  Feather art from Maui

   Creating feather lei is serious business, require intense concentration.

   Respect and conserving of the feathers does not allow for mistakes.  

   Occasionally we can be crazy and make fun artistic peices of art as well. Pictured are feather flowers from Maui pheasant pelts.

The Maui hunters raise chicks and release as part of their kuleana ( responsibility) as a hunter. The pelts are sun dried then sold to lei makers. We proudly support the hunting lifestyle.

A few new lei created this month, peacock is very difficult to get. In creating feather lei the feathers must be grade A, I have never seen good quality peacock feathers from the suppliers, rather we use pelts. Hunters will bring the bird, we skin and dry it then use it in lei making.

This fun sunflower lei is so easy to make. Each flower is created then wired together. The kit is sold in our sister site. 

The sister site is now available   http://www.islandinspiredcreativity.com

When we tire of the concentration that feathers take we create other items. Holiday ornaments and earrings.

These tiny vintage Hawaiian puka shells no longer are found on the beach. It took hundreds of yeas to create millions of puka shells picked up in the 70's.  We bought an abandoned storage unit which contained a box of old puka shell necklace. 

The Maui earrings are also a unique item to Island Inspired Creativity. The are purchased as a do it yourself kit on etsy and ebay.

Maui people are also available on ebay and etsy.

Aunty Sally took a few classes at Kaunoa Senior Center and now comes to Maui Feather Lei at 58 Central Avenue Wailuku. She has been collecting peacock for awhile and wanted to incorporate into a lei humu papa - what a great job.

Aunty Marianne has been in Art Maui two years in a row now and continues to come up with new designs. This cuff incorporates a piece of alligator into the mix 

Fabulous as always, these ladies never cease to produce top notch items. These cuffs are available for wholesale purchase only, and come on a variety of bracelets

Aunty Carol wanted to design a tablescape  using  18 inch kahili to honor a workshop she did at Hawaiian Homes.

Very nice, these would also be appropriate for a wedding or baby party center piece.

Not just lei, we also do feather jewelry, feather cuff bracelets, earring and necklace.
