Just a simple gesture of aloha in the form of a quick watercolor for this week's IF challenge.The scent of sweet plumeria blossoms sent my thoughts traveling back in time, to early mornings sitting around Auntie's table, where she would teach us kids how to string leis with the freshly picked flowers.
Just daydreaming...
I always wanted to know how to make a leis when I was a child, that and a crown of flowers :)
ReplyDeleteMe too! WIsh I knew how to make a lei. Lucky you, Michele.
ReplyDeleteI look at this watercolor illustration and I say, It would be awesome to get one of them flower things around my neck! Girl, this little sister needs a break! A long vacation is in order. Thanks so much for you sweet words. They mean the world to me.
