Meet Pawi Manlikha: A Whimsical Wanderer of the Sea

Allow me to introduce you to Pawi Manlikha, a charming and whimsical friend who embodies the serene spirit of a sea turtle (Pawikan in Tagalog) with the playful grace of a jellyfish. She is a unique reminder of the diverse and wondrous life that graces our oceans.

Her vibrant form features four distinct appendages, reflecting her unique cross-species charm. The hand-stitched details and colorful embellishments echo the beauty of the coral reefs and the delicate life found beneath the waves. Tiny beads add a touch of sparkle, like sunlight on the water, highlighting the unique and precious nature of each individual piece.

Crafting Pawi was a journey of imagining the beauty of these remarkable sea creatures combined. It is my sincere wish that her unique presence will inspire a deeper appreciation for all marine life, encouraging us to cherish and protect the incredible biodiversity of our oceans right here in the Philippines and beyond. Let’s be mindful of our impact and strive to keep our seas healthy for all its inhabitants.
