Welcome 2015!

Hi!
Day 1 of 2015.

According to my readings and what Imran and I had in our discussions, this year would be a very hard one. Well, at least for us. Crashes in economy, politics, social. All around the globe. That would give some impact to our life a little bit. More, perhaps.

But that won't be something that stopping us to go on our journey. We believe that we are on the right path and we always pray to God for His blessing. May God grant us with strength and ease in everything we do.

And for this year onwards, I pray for peace in the whole world. I pray for the positive thoughts and good health in everybody. And I pray for a happy new year!

Till then, ta-ta!

December, keep going on!

Salam and Hello!

Just want to share with you what I have done last night. Photo transfer on fabric --in a way to finish the handbound book that halfway done for Imran.

This time I used gesso as a medium to transfer the photo on calico fabric and mod podge for the coating of the image transferred. It was almost perfectly done, with just a little bit of paper pulps left on the image after it has been transferred and coated with mod podge. But I have cleaned it up a lil' bit and it's all done.

I think I'm gonna put this image on the cover of Imran's book and I hope it could finish before new year.

  

 

  

Well, the days gone by, December is almost over, and in a couples of days we're gonna say goodbye to 2014. Whatever has been achieved and what's not, just keep going, keep moving forward. Some books has to be closed, some can be added with new sheets for new pages and continue.

Till then, Bye!

Wedding Guest Book: Sabarina And Syauki

Salam and Hello!
It has been a while since my last post. I don't know, maybe I've been busy with my life, work and everything in between. But I have all the updates on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Okay, this post is about another handmade Wedding Guest Book that I've made for my customer, Sabarina (she's actually my colleague) from KL. The theme was lilac and cream.

So, I made the book with Japanese stab binding, I used calico for the cover as it's more to creamy color. And the flowers (Layla and Mini Leli) were made of different kind of fabrics.

The wedding was on September 14, 2104 and this book was ordered 2 weeks before. Thanks to Allah to make it happen (even though I had to struggle juggling between Satrya and this during the process). And again, Imran was a great partner and supporter.

Here are some photos of it. Enjoy!

 

 

I wish the couple and the whole family and friends would enjoy their day fabulously!
Till then, bye!
