me and life: quote of the day

"Whatever it is that you are creating: comix, zine, or maybe you are a doctor or you recycle wine bottles or something, you are keeping yourself alive. You are defending your soul". - Free To Fight! And interactive self-defense project

do you have any quote to share with me today?

me and collages: a valentine series!




Yes, I'm already on the mood of Valentine! Lol. Well at least,
my shop does. I have a chat with one of another etsian and
she speaks about making some stuff for Valentine and it strikes
me how near it is actually. I mean, if you buy one of these like
next week, it will arrive at the third week of January. Ready to
be send and receive by your honey bunny on the second week
of February, right? No?

Anyway, go check them out because I even have a double sided
collage for you! Hot and ready at www.vantiani.etsy.com!

me and my life: questions

1. do birds suddenly appear everytime you are near?:)
2. do people believe that some people are more important
than others? everyone IS important.
3. do we as human tend to claim everything is ours on this earth?
4. do we have to fall in and out of love so many times in our life?
5. do we create something called war and weapon?
6. does it is so difficult for some people to accept differences?
7. does it really matter what material you have in your life now?
8. do some people believe that they can own another people?
9. do people are so afraid of the future?
10. do i feel like i have to take a vacation now?
maybe because of I make this post. lol.

sunny sunday




A good and long sunday. Start with an interesting brunch at
where she cook for all of us and spent the entire day preparing
her, me and Miss Sunya (http://www.bonekaliliput.blogspot.com)
Oh and we also met several good friends at Miss Tika's cafe, Kedai.
What a superb sunday I must say. How's yours?

me and exhibition: sari's amazing solo exhibition!





My amazingly talented friend Sari, is having her first solo
exhibition. Apart from drawing she's also knit and
a very famous vocalist of one band called The White Shoes
and The Couples Company. I went to her exhibition
last Saturday and in awe for the whole decoration and her
art. Oh I am so so proud of her!

On this exhibition there so many great ideas on
the medium that Sari uses for her artwork.
She even put this one vintage cabinet where her
friends could put their collectibles to be exhibit there.
I wish I could meet her that day to buy some merchandise
or her artworks but apparently she has a gig in Malaysia!

Can't wait to congratulate her in person! Sari, thank you
for such a gorgeous exhibition.

me and collages: a new series!




I have been looking for used and vintage maps for sometime.
But not until last Sunday I accidently found some on a tiny
used book shop where my punk boy used to shop too. That's
where his map collections come from actually.

There are three pieces so far, made of a used postcard as the
backup as my other collages. I haven't decide either to put these
three first on my etsy or wait for more pieces being made. But
how I love these three! Yay!

What do you think?

(Sensationally) Sunny Sunday







It feels like a really good revenge after I have to keep
spending weekends at the office for the last two months.
did a two straight days of vintage and crafts shopping together!

Look what I found! Two tin plates and soup jar that I adore
so much everything about them. Some accessories to decorate
the shop, some stuff for our craft bar, and of course some good
local food experiences.
We end the day with a huge glass ice cappucino at Kedai,
Miss Tika cafe on the first floor of our soon-to-be craft shop.
What a glorious Sunday that was! Yay! How's yours?

What a Saturday!

2. It's not raining until we finished our shopping trip.
3. Ate a homemade ice cream on this old and pretty
ice cream restaurant.

table cloth, other table cloth with gorgeous plants
illustrations and other little pretty finger power pieces.

with some interesting sellers of old ads, photographs
and other paperie.
6. Ate a mango sticky rice at the first day of my period.
