90 paintings in 90 days, Day 30, Offering

     Ho'okupu

      These ho'okupu are small objects tied in ti leaves. They're used for an offering, like lighting a candle in church, to ask for acknowledgement from God or a higher power, what you believe. The inside is personal. I used a flower lei that I'd worn to an event and left the offering among others in a special place.
