HOME WITH BATIKS AND SOME IDEAS
Just returned from our trip to Malaysia, Borneo, Vietnam, and Thailand. So much fun.
At the Karyaneka Handicraft Center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia I found a shop with Batiks. I should have bought more, but not realizing the money exchange I hesitated. Wish I had been more aware. One meter each of these three was US $23.40. They are 39 by 45 inches. Now to find something wonderful to do with them.
On the ship there was this tile wall. It gave me awesome ideas.
I figure to fuse different colors of fabric and cut little squares and see if I can duplicate something on this line.
I think I can get those nice curves without much difficulty with the little triangle pieces too.
While at a zoo in Singapore as I was taking photos of those bats, this little guy crawled right up to me, nudged my arm and insisted on a photo too. Handsome little guy.
