I couldn't get to the Mainland to have Christmas with my granddaughter, Lauren. I'm sorry to miss it. She's such a special little girl. One of the reasons that I didn't get to the Mainland is that I was unable to start my PFP drive for website sponsors in time. I'm not going to go into the whole story about that or the evolution of the idea of using PFP Greenbacks to gain sponsors, but parts follow:
When I lived in Kekaha Ha'aheo Unit 9C, I had a coconut palm...kumu ni'u...out front. That cocopalm and I were sort of business partners. This is from an old website last century:
...
...
Boomerang Art has one coconut palm by the front of his studio door.
...
..................
Yes, Boomerang Art has "a loverly bunch of coconuts."
...
...
...
...
The question is "What is he going to do with them?" Three more fell out of the tree the other day. He has three or four boxes of dried nuts. Maybe a variation on this idea will work:
...
AlohaNuts from Kaua'i, Hawaii
...
.......................................
...
But, that tree is no more. There is a story, but I'm not going to go into it now. I dried and used different parts of that tree for art projects.
...
Aloha Kumu Ni'u.
As you may know, 15B is now my office/studio/storage/CouchStation and living quarters. I have a lot of stuff stored in boxes and around. One box has the last of the cocopalm fibers that I collected, cleaned and dried from that tree.
...
...
I've had a lot of different ideas on how I would use the fibers. Here are two of the prototype art projects:
...
...
...
But, that took more time than it would be worth to try to sell them. I noticed the cocopalm fibers every time I went into my closet. Last week, I decided that I would make some kind of Holiday greeting using the PFPs (Purple Feather People) design.
...
.........................................
...
...
Then, I decided to make a greeting that would fit in a regular-size envelope to send to my cousin:
...
...
...
...
(I had more of a message printed in the balloon). On the back all I had put was this:
...
Ugly, ugly, ugly.
......
But it got mailed already. I have two other ones started, but the greenback idea happened. I decided to paint the back green except for the signature symbol and number. The back would be green...I could call them... PFP Greenbacks! Check out their page HERE.
Later, I decided to paint the same colors on the other side. The voice balloon will have the number and symbol. A person who orders a PFP Greenback and tell me what to print in the balloon on the front.
I've been working on these pages and not painting...Here are PFP Greenbacks 12 (front) & 14 (back):
......
12 & 14 started.

RJ and Lani stopped by to use the computer:

I went to the annual Waimea Lights Parade on Saturday. It is something else. People come from all around the island to watch it. I'll include a bunch of those photos in Artmail 127.
Aloha, Art
