Hand made Pareo (sarongs) with Bozo in Waianae...you gotta try it!

Mary Cesar (Hawaiian Quilter extraordinaire), and I spent the morning with Bozo and friends, creating our own material for pareo (sarong). Bozo is an amazingly beautiful man! He and his family live in Waianae, where he has turned his back yard into his art studio. Pareo...sarong, are his media of choice at present. He gathers native plants in Kahana Valley, near where he grew up in Laie. The material is lovely cotton that takes the photosensitive dye beautifully.




Bozo invites anyone to come to make their own pareo...it's most fun in a small group of 4-8. $45 includes everything!
