Hiapo, my first Hawaiian Doll!

I'd like to introduce you to my first Hawaiian doll.  Her name is Hiapo (hee-ah-poe), which means first-born in Hawaiian.

Hiapo

As you can see, she has a genuine grass skirt, a lei, pearl earrings, and a tropical flower in her hair.  You can't see it in this photo very well, but she is wearing a bikini under her skirt and lei.

I decided to make her because my Sister Cat and Brother-in-law Cat just recently moved to Hawaii, and I kept thinking, hey, I should make a Hawaiian doll.  My Sister Cat helped me choose just the right name, since I know no Hawaiian at all!

Here's Hiapo standing in front of a photograph taken by Sister Cat of a beautiful beach in Hawaii.  Hiapo seems to be ready to walk right out onto the sand!

Zombie Surfer Dude

Here's another creepy cutie who is enjoying the summer (even in death)! With his black surfboard and dingy brown swim trunks, Zombie Surfer Dude is ready to join Zombie Hula Girl and my aunt in Hawaii.

What's even more exciting is that six more of their little zombie friends will also be on their way there, and my aunt is going to try and sell them in tourist shops in Hawaii! I can't wait to see how they are received there, but first I have to get to work making the little guys and getting the Laughing Cat logo on them somehow. The fun part will be making each one special and unique!

Say "Aloha" to cuteness

My aunt requested that I make her a zombie hula girl to accompany her on her move to Hawaii. This is the creepy-cute result!

She has yet to be named but I am already working on a zombie surfer boy to go with her. I might even make a few non-zombie hula girls so I can experiment with brighter colors. What do you think?

Momma Cat and I plan to add a page to our blog soon that will allow you to make special orders too! We love getting creative requests!
