The name Ka Hana No`eau I Ka Hulu (The Art of the Feather) is a true expression. The old art of Hawaiian feather lei making, as it was done in Old Hawai`i, is a long pain-staking process with breathtaking results. I found that for me it was a blessing.  My ability to do what I do in the art of feather lei making is a true gift from God.  With that gift, I thank the Lord each day for my ability and every time I work on a feather lei. I was able to teach myself the art of feather lei making through a book called Feather Lei As An Art (the only book of it's type), written by the true "Masters" of the art of feather lei making, Auntie Mary Louise Kekuewa and Paulette Kahalepuna. Through their dedication, knowledge and their book, I was able to position myself to help perpetuate the art of feather lei making for generations to come. I take great pride in the work that I do and each lei is made with aloha and a prayer.
