Should I offer seamless patterns for skinny tumblers that are ready to go! Just print and press? With an option to personalize with a name or quote?

Introducing Artistry of Aloha
– a new beginning, a deeper connection.
It’s with heartfelt excitement and gratitude that I share the transformation of TidalTrendz into Artistry of Aloha. This is more than just a name change — it’s a return to the roots of what inspired me to start this journey in the first place: a deep love for nature, culture, and the stories that connect us all.

At Artistry of Aloha, every design is an invitation to experience the beauty and spirit of the islands. It’s a space where inspiration is nurtured, where designs are born from the natural world around us — the plants, the landscapes, the ocean’s rhythm, and the quiet moments of reflection. Through these creations, I’m excited to share not only my designs, but the manāo (wisdom) and values that have been passed down through generations, blending modern artistry with timeless tradition.

For me, this is more than just wearable art — it’s about honoring the culture, the land, and the people who have shaped it. Each piece is a celebration of the aloha spirit, carrying with it a message of connection, respect, and love. Whether it’s the flow of a fern, the vivid colors of a sunset, or the energy of the ocean tides, these elements come together in designs that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.

I am deeply grateful for this creative journey, and I can’t wait to share what’s next with you. I hope you’ll join me as we embark on this new chapter together. Your support means the world.

For those of you who helped me to choose a design background color, mahalo nui! I really appreciate you!

I submitted the purple design and now I need your help to vote. You can choose 3 designs to vote on. I hope one of them is mine!!! 🥰

This pattern is a seek and find pattern where I have hidden the following items in the poem created to go with the pattern below. ENJOY!

In a forest lush and green,
Mana creatures hide unseen.
Brush of paint, a story told,
In hues of nature, bright and bold.

Red Iʻiwi sings secrets low,
Yellow Anianiau in sunlight's glow.
Happy face spider, tiny and shy,
Pueoʻs wise gaze meets the sky.

Hidden treasures in palapalai leaves,
Magic woven through koa trees.
Find them in the forest deep,
Where ancient spirits gently sleep.

Much Love Everyone!!

Feedback Please 🙋🏻‍♀️

I’m entering a design challenge and need some help to choose the best background color for this design: Green, Purple or Black. Please help me decide. 💕

This Spoonflower challenge is to create a piece with hidden pictures. So I decided to call this the Enchanted Forest and hide some Iiwi birds, Pueo (Owls), Anianiau birds and Happy Face Spiders among Palapalai and Koa. Can you find them?

New Blanket!! Hand-painted Native Hawaiian ʻAnianiau bird, digitally captured onto a velveteen blanket.

The ‘anianiau is the smallest Hawaiian honeycreeper, endemic to Kaua‘i.  Adult males are brilliant yellow; females also are yellow, but duller. Constantly on the move, ‘anianiau feed on nectar from ‘ōhi‘a, ‘ōhelo, ‘alani, and other native and introduced plants. They also glean arthropods from the outer canopy and smaller twigs and branches of ‘ōhi‘a and koa trees as well as from the foliage of shrubs, vines, and the fronds of tree ferns

Introducing our irresistibly cozy velveteen blanket throws! Indulge in luxurious softness that's perfect for lounging in pure bliss. Looking for the perfect gift to show your loved ones how much you care? Look no further! Our blankets are not just a present, they're a gesture of warmth and affection...

Hula ❤️ Love

It’s been over 30 years that I’ve been on this stage. I am filled with gratitude to be able to be with my Ka Ua Kani Lehua ‘Ohana again. Love you Uncle Johnny. All the feels returning, the bright lights, the unity, the music, the laughter, and hearing Uncle Johnny’s voice is overwhelming. (Thank goodness for technology)

Huge mahalo for all my hula sisters who encouraged me to come back to dance. Love you guys 😘 Feel a little creaky but still go 🤣
