Save – IF
Save the best for last | pastel + colorpencil on moleskineThe theme is ‘Save’ over at Illustration Friday. Am a bit late for this week’s theme due to the KLIBF and some other commissioned work.
When I was a kid, I would save the best piece for last during meal time, to me it was purely a joy. But sometimes I got unlucky because my sister would steal all the joy away from me and swallowed it fast!

This book is fresh from the factory, you won’t find it in any bookstores just yet.

Rattan goodies!
Rizal from Rest N Rileks came to see me at the KLIBF 2008. I never met blogger friends in real life except for Marzie and Helmy of course (they’re my offline buddies as well). I was suppose to pick up a frame from Rizal last week but since I was swarmed with works, Rizal offered to send me the frame himself.
Framed Rattan FlowersBeautiful isn’t it? This particular craft is designed by Ifa, Rizal’s student. I think Ifa has done a great job and hope she will produce more beautiful stuff. You can view more of this craft at Rizal’s Blog: Rattan Craft. Rizal also gave me goodies from IKN (National Crafts Institute)! Thank you so much to Rizal and Ifa!
