When in doubt, paint bamboo

Saturday mornings are sacred again. I have started Chinese brush painting at the Bintang Arts and Culture Center, taught by the wonderful Laoshi Kit. I needed something to pull me away from my phone, and this does exactly that.

That is the universe my friend Shaik Reisman has built in the heart of Hulu Langat, through his beautiful project Malayajunglecraft.

A book I'll never stop loving

Each page is an explosion of color and geometry. The ribbons are made from cotton, and because grosgrain has that signature ribbed texture, the way the colors are woven through the lines is simply mind-blowing.

Fashination / Textile
