Shop Name: Polu Moana
What you like to go by: Erika
When did you start your shop? November 2011
Is this your only job? At the moment yes (even though I have yet to sell anything). I plan to go to graduate school next Fall, if all goes well.
When did you realize you had this talent? This certain talent for jewelry making has been with me for a while. I am very creative and have expressed myself though drawing, painting, fabricating clothes, knitting, and all other sorts of craftiness.
Where do you find your inspiration? Living on Oahu, surrounded by shoreline has definitely been wonderful. Driving to my "spots" with anticipation of what I might find that day is great. Coming home with materials I found, by wading and snorkeling in tide pools, also one of my favorite things to do, and crafting them into wearable form is relaxing.
Who has been the most supportive of your work? My mom, she wants this piece and that piece...."and remember, Christmas is coming up."
What is one thing you would like to accomplish that you haven't yet? Make my first sale! Haha. In seriousness, I would like to continue to improve my craft and create a more diverse collection, never stop exploring new possibilities.

We shall not cease from explorationAnd the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, unremembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the apple-tree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, half-heard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
-T.S. Elliot "The Four Quartets: Little Gidding"
