Native leaves, flowers and other natural beauty inspire Hawaiian snowflake designs. You can see leaves of the Breadfruit, Papaya, Ti and Palm trees, blossoms of Official State and Island flowers, lilies, Plumeria, Orchids, and plant leaves such as Monstera (Split-Leaf philodendron) and Ferns in Hawaiian designs.
Sometimes the artist will use images of animals such as the dolphin and sea turtle, or renderings of ancient rock carvings which are called Petroglyphs.
Some images in this site are based upon existing, historical petroglyph sand drawings and other art works currently on display in national public parks, museums and in 'out of print' reference material, dating back at least 100 years or more to avoid infringement of any copyright or intellectual property rights. If you notice an error or an infringement of copyright please let me know and I will make the correction.
