me and collection: indonesian vintage craft books

I found these series of vintage craft books on duplex
in Bandung a couple of weeks ago when I was in
town for a short visit. They were piles of them at the
back displays and thanks to that one buddy who found them!
He got himself an awesome vintage children book album
from the 1970's. Oh what a lucky lucky finds!

Saya menemukan seri buku-buku kerajinan tangan triplex
dari tahun 70 an ini di sebuah toko buku tua yang tak
kalah cantiknya di Bandung. Tertumpuk-tumpuk di
belakang bersama dengan buku-buku tua lainnya, 
untung saja teman saya yang satu ini selalu begitu jeli
dan teliti di setiap kunjungan kita di toko buku!

A Sweet Sunny Sunday

Today is my last day at my parent's house after Thursday where

we celebrate Eid Mubarak together. I spent today just hang out

at my youngest room while updating my shop. Here's a couple of

artsy stuff she made and did to her room and also a sneak peek

to some new stuff that I have made for my etsy shop! 

And my mom's gave me those pretty fabrics from her piles!

What a Sunday! And  I hope yours also a splendid one!

Ini hari terakhir saya di rumah ibu setelah merayakan Lebaran

sejak hari Kamis, seharian ini saya hanya berada di kamar

adik saya sambil mengupdate etsy saya dan memotret hal-hal

menarik yang ada di dalam kamarnya. Ibu saya sedang belajar

patchwork menghibahkan beberapa kainnya yang lucu lucu.

Dan dua foto terakhir adalah produk terbaru dari kolase saya 

yang akan saya jual mulai minggu depan. Tunggu ya!

me and craft: making pom pom in a bookshop

These are from my last trip to Bandung where I spent

three days for a bazaar, an exhibition and a collage workshop!

It took place at Omuniuum where they have a great table by

the window where I spent almost every morning sitting, talking,

making things and reading.

Ini salah satu yang saya lakukan waktu terakhir kali ke Bandung

dan menghabiskan waktu disana selama tiga hari untuk ikut 
bazaar, pameran dan juga workshop kolase dadakan. 
Tempatnya di Omuniuum  dan ini adalah meja dimana
setiap pagi saya membaca, ngobrol, bikin bikin ataupun 
duduk saja melihat pemandangan. Saya suka 

sekali meja ini. Dan saya suka Omuniuum tentu saja.

me and a bazaar: Bukan Bazaar!

These are the house where I will be joining a bazaar together

with Miss Dindie  , Miss Raw and hopefully Mr Frnss where

we will selling our finger power art and crafts plus having a

small workshop on Sunday. Isn't that wonderful place to have

a bazaar? Hope to see you all there, peeps!

Ini tempat dimana saya akan ikut bazaar bersama dengan 
Nona Dindie , Nona Shali dan Paman Frnss hari sabtu
dan minggu ini. Kami akan berjualan dan menggelar workshop
bikin bikin! Datang ya, teman teman! Ditungguu!

me and pom pom : their pretty rolls

Pom poms are amazing, even before they are finished in the making
as an half done piece they are already really pretty. Agree?

Bagaimana saya tidak tergila-gila membuat pom pom? 
Bahkan sebelum mereka jadi pun sudah tampak begitu cantiknya!

me and sewing : our mobile seamster

I am so proud to present you our mobile seamster
(is that the right word?).He will be easily spot on
cycling his sewing machine among those small
rural stress in Jakarta ready to take your orders
and finished them on the spot!

The kind of service that he's very popular at
usually from shortening your jeans.But today
I want him to repair my lover's ripped pants,
shorten my dress, repair my vintage tote and
also make me some pincushions!

me and exhibition: La Lights Indie Fest 2010

I spent last Saturday sharing a space with these awesome

artists and crafters from Jakarta and Bandung for an indie

music festival. As you can see from all these pictures, I had

a blast from the beginning until the end of the event. Not 

only the sales were good, but i met so many new and

inspiring friend too! Yay!

me and ubud : this morning before the sky turned grey

I have been really annoyed with Ubud's sky for
it's sudden change from really bright then quickly
change into dark grey then slowly back into bright
then will stay darker and darker. I mean, how on
earth am I supposed to take pictures that I must
submit to the newspapers today? 

Oh did I say newspapers interviews? Yes, dear!
I will be on two different newspapers for this
Friday and Saturday! Woot! Will share you more
on that later;)

me and craft : it FELT good to be back!

If you asked where all those rain drops/flower petals or
that shape of paper that I often use in my collages, they
all start from these bunch. A big bunch of felt corsages
that I used to make like crazy three years ago. And
this christmas I have been really curious to make some
tree ornaments with it so voila!

So apart of making pompoms, I have been also busy
making these new bunch of pretty ladies. I have a big
plan for them next month;)

me and you : have a cute and corny christmas!

and i'm going to spend it with the other two
witches outside the city, shopping for craft
supplies and vintage, plus making all the chaos
a three witches can pull together!hahaha!
see you sunday, my inspiring readers! hugs!

me and craft : mad about pom poms continues...

I've been in a roller coaster mood and
conditions lately that left me almost no
time for blogging! Aack! But some of them
are good like I will be joining my first big
fair tomorrow with some friends until Sunday.
Yay!

And soon I will reveal the new stuff that I'm
still making more at the moment and I
certainly wish you all will be as excited as
me when they ready to enter the etsy galore!
Have a marvelous weekend you all:)

me and craft : mad about pom poms!

Thanks to that magnificent Dindiepop of
www.dindiepop.blogspot.com I have a
pom pom fever since yesterday! Yay!
I have been loving pom poms forever and
even purchased a set of tools in making
them but never actually get it how.

And I just had so many ideas now
what I am going to do with them! Woot!

me and environment : a recycle packaging

I always want to improve my packaging although I know that

I always doing that late and not good enough. But I love to try

new things out, I love the whole process and seeing if an idea

could meet my expectation or not. Just like this one.

These are made of paper scraps that I used to make my collages

with. Plus a sticker with my logo on it, it's definitely do the job

at the moment. And one more thing, those pouches turned out

to sell really well lately. Woot!

me and an idea: collaged aprons!

As much as I am so excited in sharing this all with you,

I admit that these are still in an early development stage.

I have made four aprons with two of my most favorite

collage pieces from vinyls (just like my small pouches)

so far and I'm not yet happy with the total result.

But, last night I finally find the perfect supplier for it!

Yay! And now I'm soo ready to make more stuff with

my collaged vinyl pieces! So, watch out for more goodies

to come, peeps! They will swoon you, I tell you.
