YouTube.com - A Queens Prayer, Queen Liliuokalani, relief carving.wmv
Comments: This is a relief carving I made from poplar, approx 4' high X 1.5' wide. Subject is Hawaii's last Queen, Queen Liliuokalani. The relief carving depicts portions of the following: Amongst many things, the queen was know for her imprisonment by the United States in 1895. During this time, she wrote "the Queens Prayer" and made a variety of quilts. After the queen died, legend states that "strange events were recorded in the islands. Volcanos erupted and the seas turned an odd hue from the sudden appearance of red fish. It was as if the elements recognized that the kingdom was no more." For my entire portfolio, please visit www.polynesianjunk.com. South Pacific relief carvings, Tahitian ukuleles, pendants, hula implements, and more. Thanks for...

Comments: The beautiful words of Hawai'is Queen Lili'uokalani, plus the music of Lorraine Wakinikona. Your loving mercy Is as high as Heaven And your truth So perfect I live in sorrow Imprisoned You are my light Your glory, my support Behold not with malevolence The sins of man But forgive And cleanse And so, o Lord Protect us beneath your wings And let peace be our portion Now and forever more....Amen
