A Flying Fish Kite!

This flying fish probably won't be confused with a real one. Nevertheless, it’s open mouth with sharp teeth, veined fins, and bright colors are sure to give you a chuckle every time you spy it hanging in your home or sent skipping from cloud to cloud across the sky.

Since 2008, I’ve been making the trip to Wayan Suteja’s home in the village of Lodtunduh, in the heart of Bali. In his studio, I find these beautiful kites he and his team have created: each is intricately hand-painted on nylon fabric, mounted on a bamboo frame, and strung with nylon. I pick the most colorful and interesting ones to knowing that they will be the first to sell out of at my annual show each year, and they do! Each look beautiful, whether hanging displayed in your home or soaring in the sky.

Every kite is shipped compactly folded, with easy-to-follow instructions for opening it and flying. As a special bonus, I include with each kite a handcrafted, comfortable wooden kite string holder that includes strong kite string for a long, long tether for your kite to soar.

Open: approximately 72" H x 33" W. Folded: approximately 35" H x 10" W.
