Made in Hawaii was a doozy but at least I got the opportunity to talk to a ton of people about our manu and donate some funds too. Thank you to anyone who stopped by during such a busy weekend!

Anytime I’ve been MIA recently- this is what I’ve been up to 😝 manu buddies manu buddies manu buddies 😮‍💨 #polymerclay #manubuddies

A new chick emerges - take a moment to appreciate nature- this nesting manu-o-kū waited patiently for its little baby and now they’re here! The mama has a tiny fish in its mouth- holding it for when the baby wants it. #birdsofhawaii #manuoku #babybird

Building these flocks is fun because now i can make little flowers out of their clusters 😆

Way too much fun making these manu buddies 😆 Palila with a basket full of Māmane snacks, ‘ōma‘o with a lil ‘ākala berry snack

Manu Elementary SY24-25 This Kinder class has some birdies flying off to new schools so I wanted to make sure we had a full class photo! #birdsofhawaii #polymerclay

Nene is the rarest goose in the world. Hawaii's State bird, they almost went extinct in 1952 with only 30 individuals left. After conservation efforts, populations increased to more than 3K today. Conservation works. And science deniers can go fluck themselves. #needlefelted #birds #birdart #sciart
