Hi everyone! Just over a month ago, I introduced my Redbubble store. How it came about is a story in itself. 
When I was 9, I learned the Hukilau Hula from two nice Hawaiian ladies at a luau. Kahala and Puanani, if you're out there, mahalo nui loa - thank you! Your teaching lives on.
Fast forward a rather large number of years, and I was getting ready to teach a children's hula class on Zoom. I needed an outfit that didn't involve coconuts. Enter Redbubble, where I found a sweet scoop-neck tee with artwork of Lilo and Stitch hula dancing. It's adorable, I wore it for the class, and now it's in my regular wardrobe rotation.
But that made me realize that hey, I've got original artwork too! It can be on a tee shirt (or a mug, or a tote bag, or a notebook...)! Thus were born (or expanded) my shops at the print-on-demand sites Redbubble, CafePress, TeePublic, and Zazzle.

Does it matter which one you shop? While most of my artwork is available at each site, each one has its own printable product line. They all have T-shirts. CafePress has more children's options, wallets, lunch bags, and car accessories (license plates and magnets). RedBubble has shaped stickers, home decor, and a wide selection of phone cases. TeePublic has a large selection of shirt styles, plus shaped stickers, wall hangings, and bound blank books with colorful covers. Zazzle features upscale items such as neckties, cuff links, business card cases, and crossbody bags, as well as all-occasion notecards.
Here's a small selection of artwork available, with more being added all the time. Visit any of the sites to find your next perfect gift - for someone special, or for yourself!

BTW, the hula class went swimmingly. The trick to effortlessly managing the hip-swing is to bend your knees as you step. It's fun, and is honestly a great workout.
Aloha, until next time!
