Warning!! Post may be lagged due to large number of pictures


Yeah, i know, restnrileks has been lagging lately. The truth is, I am having too much fun just restnrileksing nowadays. :) And in doing so, i ve been lagging in posting my ATC as well, dropping Entrecard, updating blog, err.. in fact everything that goes with blogging sphere.. hehe. Speaking of 2nd ATC Swap,-themed independence, I believe everybody has done a great job. Clap!! Clap!! Congrats!! Check out the first ATC (here) and the one that lead to 2nd ATC swap (here). I am still waiting for Megat's works to arrive though... Megat ohhh megat mana ATCs..?? Happily, one from Brunei and two from Indonesia had successfully arrived safe and sound.

While the 2nd ATC was in a midst of happening, one of my students too did some small works (ATC size) just for the sake of being happy ( I am sure on his part though) Yippie. Ohh, i almost forget, and here are Mango's. Pictures arent sharp enough (scanner wasnt working so i just took pics using point and shoot camera) Sorri ya manggo..
Last but not least,
Mango of Mangosteenskin ATC works

Produk kraf anyaman bakul rotan - oh! pasti pelik jika restnrileks tidak lagi paparkan kraf rotan.
On other note, here are pics or rattan crafts (Produk kraf anyaman rotan datang lagi!! hehe) I ve been lagging posting pics of rattan crafts too. Below are some preliminary rattan coiling works. These are just basic works (sort of warming up for students.. tee hee) before going to more complicated and tedious works on basketry (coiling technic)


Bakul kraf rotan anyaman teknik lingkaran - oh! yang ini semua lebih sukar dan perlukan kesabaran.
Now, these however are more refined works, basketry of course with black and natural colours. Various baskets or bowls with slight variations on patterns. Coiling method is somewhat tedious and requires a great level of patience. Hence, no wonder the pricey tag that comes with it. Shall i say, the creme de la creme among rattan weaving methods.. hehe. We hope to make new forms by making it asymmetrical balance in the future, which i am sure will be interesting and errr, more tedious. But, that is the best part, the effect of seeing a new design / form is..rewarding Whohoa!! :)

Well, last two groups of pixs are just works of weekly projects to stir creativity among students. Throw some creative ideas without the formality of design process. See how the products will turn out.


Well, till next time. In the meantime, happy ramadhan to all muslim bloggers, Selamat menyambut Hari Raya Aidil Fitri.. Happy blogging and have a great day everyday. I hope i wont be lagging more in updating restnrileks. hehe
