Batik Cheongsam for Chinese New Year

Isn't it sweet?

I always want a Cheongsam with batik print for my daughter, at last I've found a local online store that made it, and I just love the combination between Indonesian Batik and the oriental style. 

Lately in Indonesia we have a campaign to wear batik as our cultural heritage, and I can say the campaign goes well, so many beautiful pattern and so many ways to combine the fabrics, love it!

And this one is for the Chinese New Year the year of the tiger, may this year bring luck and prosperity to all of us, Gong Xi Fat Choi everybody!

I love sketches!

I love sketches, I learn from them, old sketches , new sketches, I see so many in them, patience, desperation, hope, eagerness, process, happiness, and my self inside them.
























This is a little bit of the sketches that I'd made for a children books project, aligned with the IF- clumsy rabbit that I've already post, I'll show you the project as soon as the books comes
out. It's a promise :)

IF- clumsy

'Bejo'* the rabbit is so clumsy that he make everyone didn't get their milk today

*'Bejo' is an Indonesian name means 'lucky' :)

part of my recent work, thought this might fit the IF topic this week :)

I kinda favor this one, I put some vintage background, level it in Photoshop and the bird eye view angle surprised me. Gotta try a different kind of angle from now on, I love it..

Hei hei long time no see, it's just I'm to laazy recently, with all the dateline and holiday, this and that, you will find me gazing through some delicious blog these days, with a blank mind to even post a single entry to IF and this blog, gee.. :) and it's nice, yes, to take a break for a while and looking around just to learn from those talented people in the net..

Meanwhile this is what we do in our spare time, catching butterflies, waiting, sneaking, and voila.. got them. And in all those waiting moment, everything like moving in slow motion, you listen, you open all your senses, it just refreshed your mind inside out.. try it..

Wishing for a snow

Snow. Someday I would really love to feel and touch it with my bare hands :)
