me and old building: a pretty batik shop

I accidentally saw this pretty building one morning after 

accompanying a good friend picked up some books at this

huge second hand book market in the South of Jakarta. 

As I came closer to take this pictures I found out that it's

an old batik shop owned by this old chinese man.I really

really love those two big displays and the second floor!

Saya menemukan toko batik cantik ini tidak sengaja.

Ceritanya waktu itu menemani teman mengambil

pesanan bukunya di Blok M Square, jadi bayangkan

senangnya saya waktu mendekat dan menemukan

betapa diantara himpitan ruko-ruko baru masih ada

tersempil sebuah bangunan secantik ini. Yay!

Sunny Sunday

Finally I was able to check out this cool art shop

in a big cultural venue in the South of Jakarta.

How proud I am that they like my stuff and today

they offer me to have my own space to display

and showcase my craftworks! yay!

Hope your Sunday is swell also.

(Last) Sunny Sunday

when it comes to jewellery i will think my choice of

colors is only between all black, all silver or titanium

or very colorful. i don't like to wear gold but i really

love silver. i am into beads but not big stone beads.

these are view from my regular make-your-own beads

shop. i went there last sunday to make my all time

favorite black stone necklace. where do you go last

sunday? would you like to tell me?

me and crafts: love drawing

I have been working like mad making

stuff for our craft shop since the sales

is just amazing lately. These are some

half-done love cards that I certainly

hope should be finish this weekend,

ready for the Valentine's day.

(Definitely not) A Sunny Sunday

I was the shop keeper with the girls all day this weekend while

rain pouring really hard outside. It's been such a positive and

happy start for the shop although we've been open for three

days since Friday. Our curiousity sexy craft shop blog is

me and collages: my first postcard set!

Twenty high quality postcards made of my Nina collage

series. There are only three sets available since I keep

one set for myself.

Yes, they all in my shop already for you to send to the

people that you adore. No, I'm not going to make more

after this. Well, maybe for another collages;)

me and collages: one good bumblebee

I've know One Good Bumblebee for some time actually,

but not until yesterday I found these pretty cool

messy collages print that they sell in their shop.

I never thought of making prints out of my collages

but I think these prints definitely make me might
