Batik Sarawak

Along India Street I saw yards of Batik Sarawak material displayed in front of the shop, Fabriko. The flowing floral-like designs above are peculiar of one of the many ethnic groups in Sarawak called the Orang Ulu, comprising the Kelabits,Kayans, Kenyahs,etc. These designs are either printed or hand painted on silk, cotton or polyester.

Kuching Klikz, Sarawak receives award from Bandung

Last week I stopped by at the Pustaka Negeri ( State Library) to see a handicraft exhibition. I thought the Sarawak ethnic design drawn on the batik shirt above was beautifully done.

On another note I am extremely thrilled this morning to know that this blog has been given the "Blogging Friends Forever" (BFF) award by Saudara Eki of BANDUNG DAILY PHOTO . PLease visit his posting here:http://bandungdailyphoto.com/2008/10/skywatch-friday-15-bandungs-late-dry.html.

Well , I am lost for words at the moment...:)

I feel elated. On top of the world. Feel so very honoured and therefore am very pleased to receive it. Million thanks, Eki. As required I'll pass the award ( and the love of blogging) to five others and my choice will be announced in my next posting.
