Variety of colour..

Turquoise, royal blue and lime green songket..all taken yesterday.

Met someone yesterday...she took 2 books and another friend order 20 books in songket cover. That is great but it is chalenging for me because i never do it a lot in one short. First of all, i need to find a red and purple songket. The more colour is the merrier variety. I hope she will like it and appreciate my effort. Its not about the price, but its about passion and pleasure of sewing, stitching and when the idea came over..i don't care!

Songket..timeless

Kettle stitch..it's not perfect at all but it mark this is handmade book binding...

Handwoven fabrics, tenun songket is always being a passion for a designer who's appreciate our Malay heritage and culture. Songket is evergreen, wherever you go, songket is the most ultimate beautiful fabric and it ensemble of our Malay Royal. If im not mistaken, certain royal family has their own colour to remark their family. Perak is yellow and sometimes i saw them in light purple or lilac while Pahang is often in green. Well, they can wear any colour, any motif even any types of songket. We have many types such as corak bunga tabur or bunga penuh.

Few years back, i met our fabric specialise cum budayawan, Mak Ungku or Azah Aziz at her residence in PJ to talk about songket. She told me how to preseve songket to make it long last. We can't fold it because it may cause the benang emas damage. The best way is hang it or roll it.

Elastic bend shocking pink..electic!

When we talk about songket too...we can see some couple wear it during their wedding day, for akad nikah ceremony or bertandang and some other reservation.

Songket with pucuk rebung berjuang and bunga tampuk manggis..we have a lot of motif in Malay world such as awan larat, potong wajik, pucuk rebung, bunga cengkih etc...

I have my collection. eventhought it's not expensive but as Malay lady and appreciate the handwoven fabric, i bought it and studied about it. It is special, beautiful and very exclusive on its own way. At least, we must have a piece of it in our wardrobe.

Do pm me or buzz me if u interested to buy this kinda series...Songket series...will update more during this weekend...

Mont Blanc is art of writing your life and red is art of feeling stronger in life and yet a book binding is a combination of skill and creativity. It is happiness!

A ribbon...i like it much!

Kettle stitch. Butterfly...fly and fly..

Orange butterfly...ouchh!

Lace and embroidery...

A ribbon is from Body Shop...i should tell Loshini or Saasanii from Body Shop to visit me here...hehe

I have a strong ethusiast towards lace, embroidery, ribbon and beautiful fabric..i remember...14 yrs back...i bought two metres of French lace for my wedding dress...RM450 for two metres and wore it for majlis bertandang only. Just once and after that, it hanged in a wardrobe till now.

Ribbon was recycle from Body Shop...

Blue cool...

The accesories is from a second hand shawl. I decided to recycle their accesories here.

Coptic binding stitch...

Blue...often make me see above up in the sky...and the words that blue is always make me feeling cool..it's like a cotton candy in a white paper...during my childhood in kampung ..emak likes to buy cotton candy when we went to visit funfair. The other thing that i always asked emak to buy was a balloon. Both cotton candy and balloon really inspired me to be a behave kiddy but now i know all my nieces and nephews were not allowed to eat cotton candy because of the sweetness...sigh!

A scond hand accesories..took it from old shawl..don't want to wear it anymore...so i better recycle it as apart of craft thing..

I never plan to create like this..it came instantly when i sat down in a work station. One by one or step by step...and within two hours...the book is ready. This is a best therapeutic for me. Sewing, stitching, cutting or else crafting are my task. If you give me a task like secretary...arghhh i die but if you lock me in a paper factory or craft store..ok im alive!
