These little cups are finally finished! I’ve been working on building up a stash of birds for the Hawaii Island Festival of Birds this fall, and some of these will get stashed away for that.
This small batch also includes manu o kū (tern). Lately, my shore/seabirds have been getting rainbows too.
I believe manu o kū are only found on O’ahu island right now, and they actually tend to hang out in urban and suburban areas. It’s a little bit sad, but also kind of neat because they can be spotted by people in parks or on the university campus, etc. They bring fish all the way to their babies in trees!
Lovely as usual! It’s hard to resist your iwis so I can see why they’re so popular. Those rainbow terns are gorgeous too, though. You have such a beautiful, distinctive style with your pottery.

Congratulations! This wonderful project is featured this week!
