Dreaming of Hawaii? Aloha nui loa
Aloha nui loa...
Listening to IZ sing Over the Rainbow in his beautiful falsetto makes me miss living in the islands.
As a freelance professional textile designer living in Hawaii, I could stand in downtown Honolulu at lunch time and watch my designs walk around on what I call "the business man's aloha shirt."

But when you want something so gorgeous that strangers will walk up to ask "where did you get that," my one-of-a-kind custom Ultimate Aloha Shirt™ is what you want to own.

Welcome to The Art of Paying Attention to nature
http://www.bethsurdut.com/ answers the question, "So what do you do?" as an artist and writer inspired by nature and world cultures. Here, you'll find smaller bites to chew on. I primarily talk about and show drawings and paintings of our integrated place in nature. By paying attention to what skitters, flies and crawls around me-- ravens, hawks, hummingbirds, lizards, rabbits, snakes, butterflies, stink bugs and whoever else crosses my path, I hope to inspire people to look, become enchanted, and care. It's a different approach than the popular and overwhelming doomsday "We've destroyed the planet and all is lost." Some people are motivated by fear; others by love. I'm going for love.
I'd appreciate seeing your responses to what you see around you.
