Randy began braiding fiber designs as a past time, and since then has honed his skills by studying with many of the world’s most well-known Kumihimo authors and instructors. Currently living in Hawai’i (Maui), his designs are sought after by locals (and visitors) for their distinctive “Forever Lei” appeal. Using thousands of beads, he reimagines traditional Hawaiian Lei and incorporates fiber, shells, gemstones, pearls, lamp-work beads, glass seed beads and anything else he can weave into a fiber and beaded structure.
Our Hawaiian Glass Beaded Lei are unique woven handcrafted designs made by weaving Kumihimo - a Japanese braiding technique with inspiration from the Mother Nature. We reimagine traditional Hawaiian Lei using a blend of fibers, shells, glass beads and anything beautiful to create our Forever Lei.
