Making Leis
This afternoon and tomorrow have WESTAF hosting its trustees for a board meeting. In attendance are many wonderful people from Hawai'i. The state has recently started participating in WESTAF--wonderful news.
In celebration, the WESTAF staff made leis on Monday that were distributed tonight. If you've never made one, it is part jewelry making and part flower arrangement. You need to pluck the orchids from the stems and then string each flower in a very specific way using a needle and thread.
After mutilating quite a few flowers, we all got the hang. The photos were taken with my phone which is the reason the quality is wanting bit.
Box of Orchids
Lei-d out.
