Hawaiian Feather Hatbands Lei Humu Papa - is the passion of my art. As a Master Lei Hulu I have numerous haumana (apprentice) of the 40 or so haumana 4 -5 are able to produce the quality of work that matches or surpasses my quality.

The haumana have dedicated a chunk of their lives - 3-4 hours per day 5+ days a week, year round to absorb the teaching.

There is nowhere on the internet including Youtube that haumana can learn exactly what I teach. I have struggled with doing video tutorials for quite some time. Each time we change species of feather as well as where the feather is on the skin  has a set of rules to follow for the best looking lei and stitches. The tutorials would be endless with all the little quirks of particular species of bird feathers.

I have haumana that travel from around the world to learn the Keokea style of hatbands. They often buy a condo and a Maui cruiser, to be able to extend  their learning of learn lei hulu.  These Malahini are creating works of art ie Hawaiian Feather Hatbands that are unique beautiful and respectful of the culture.
