Love and Aloha


Love and Aloha
FOR SALE

© 2012 Fannie Narte

Love and Aloha, or The Spirit of Aloha, was inspired by my daughters Ku'ulei and Ku'uipo. Ku'ulei means "Sweet Blossom" and Ku'uipo means "Sweetheart" or "My Beloved." The Spirit of Aloha is about the giving and receiving of unconditional love. This is the kind of love I know. It is the kind of love I was taught by my parents and caring family members and friends. It is the kind of love I try to practice each and every day, though oftentimes imperfectly. It is the kind of love I hope I have taught my daughters and grandchildren. It is the kind of love I hope for all to experience on a regular basis. It is the kind of love that will heal the world.

Love and Aloha. The Spirit of Aloha. Unconditional love.

I am attempting to bring attention to the importance of unconditional love and fearlessness to the world one painting at a time.

Thanks for visiting. I wish you love, hope and peace.

Party Cat--New Fabric Panel

 Party Cat, Fabric Panel
FOR SALE
© 2011 Fannie Narte

This fabric panel was made from my art quilt titled "All I Have Left," which was donated to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative and sold to help raise funds for Alzheimer's research.

"Party Cat" is dressed to celebrate any occasion . . . a wedding, an achievement, a birthday, an anniversary, sweet sixteen, turning 21.  She wants to dance.  She'll probably sing.  She enjoys life, family and friends.  She works hard during the week, and she plays hard during the weekends.

Party Cat reminds us that there is a time to work and a time to play--make time to Party!

Generosity is a gift of sharing.
Generosity is a gift without conditions or expectations.

Generosity is a tool that opens locked hearts.
Generosity is a tool that lifts heavy burdens.
Generosity is a tool that elevates the giver and receiver.
Generosity is a tool that brings light to the dark.

Generosity is a gift and tool.  
Generosity is Love.

Our Song--New Fabric Panel

Our Song, Fabric Panel

This fabric panel was made from my art quilt titled "She Remembered Me When She Heard Our Song," which was donated to the Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative and sold to help raise funds for Alzheimer's research.

"Music is powerful. It can open hard hearts. It can soften broken hearts. It can heal pain. It can heighten the emotions of celebrations. It can open a pathway to the secret place where memories live. Music can enter a locked heart when words or other keys cannot."~Fannie Narte

Shimmering Turquoise Sparkle Vinyl Clutch Handbag by VB Originals



From VB Originals:

"I hope you love this versatile clutch bag as much as I do. I love functional art; art should not just hang the walls! I can see this stunning clutch shoulder bag on a tropical vacation, at the spring prom, that special summer wedding, lunch in the city. Or maybe a present for your sister!"

All great ideas, Lori, thanks! 

How about a gift for your mom?  Mother's Day is just around the corner.  A mother with two red-headed daughters would especially love this.  You don't have to have red hair to love this as these sisters symbolize anyone with any hair color.  "Sisters" is about celebrating relationships with the women in your lives.

I'm a grandma; I would love to have this.  ♥♫♥
