A day off
I am taking a day off today and went to pick up a basket from my sis-in-law (Wawa) that another sis-in-law (Kak Ngah) made for me. Beautiful innit?! She made this out of newspapers and varnish. I studied the handwork and must say it is very neat and intricate; a lot of patience is needed to complete the whole basket.
Thank you Kak Ngah for the lovely basket!
Kak Ngah is starting her basket crafts business in May! If you would like to have her crafted a basket for you, let me know!

Eh, buat dari newspaper? Tak nampak cam newspaper pun kan. More like rattan. Hebat la your SIL.

itulahdia, nessa! my sil told me that dia gulung dulu the newspaper banyak2 guna lidi. and then pull out the lidi lepas tu gam the rolled newspaper. buat banyak2 dan anyam. after dah anyam baru varnish.
