Humu Humu Fish
These beads are very valuable to me. It was the most elaborate design I'd ever tackled, and the log was enormous! The entire thing resembled a 32 oz Big Gulp! I had rolled down several peices of it, and made only a couple dozen beads from it when I mistakenly left the clay in the back of my car on a hot summer Arizona day. The entire thing was cooked/ruined as far as bead-making was concerned; except for the few beads I'd already made. It was very heartbreaking. So these 3 peices are what I made out of the remaining valuable Humu Humu Fish beads. (Named for the Hawaiian State Fish, "Humu-humu-nuku-nuku-a-pua-a".) |
