Masks by Sonja in Hawaii


Here's my third post about masks, this time with photos from my blogger friend Sonja in Hawaii. She paints fabric in beautiful soft colors that remind me of ocean breezes, sunshine, tropical flowers and all other things Hawaiian. 


Here she is with some of her gorgeous quilts and masks. I just love her colors!



She even put masks on the Foo dogs that guard her home. According to Sonja, "The lions, or Foo dogs, are usually depicted in pairs. When used as statuary, the pair would consist of a male leaning his paw upon an embroidered ball (in Imperialist contexts, representing supremacy over the world) and a female restraining a playful cub that is on its back (representing nurturing).




She also sent a photo of the sun leaving a trail through the clouds, above. Here's the link to her blog:

And across the Pacific and into the desert, the sun rises in Tucson over the Santa Catalinas.


Have a colorful day
