Classics: Tudung Saji

Classic means something that will be used again in the future.

In my mind, many people have used a thing called "Tudung Saji" to cover up the food from flies. Even some times they use fabrics to decorate them. I don't know in other countries, but in Indonesia, it's very common. So that's why, I used "Tudung Saji" silhouette, some ruffles (from the fabrics that Indonesian use to decorate them), and batik.

Zip It

Moving

And yes readers, when I design something like this, it means that my heart is broken.

Trying to move forward when your heart torn apart is like walking on a fiery road. Painful. But, the earth never stop rotating from the east to the west. never rotate back. A samurai always stand strong and keep moving forward even though his heart is full of regrets.

11 June 2011

I confessed my feelings to the person I like. It felt good, but at the same time, it felt very painful. I messed up. I tried my best to move forward. Even 'till now. I was almost tied up.

15 June 2011

In the end, I won the battle against my broken heart. Even though, I was still sick. It felt like losing hope for living.

"Sudah, jalani saja, Dek.. (Just keep moving)" said my mom.

The earth won't rotate from the west to the east. Even how much you've prayed to rotate it back, it won't happen. Even though with regret and broken heart, you still have to keep moving forward.

This message is the concept of this design. This is my personal "Samurai".

Help

I'm trying to be a warrior, trying to be everyone's shield, trying to be strong. But, deep inside me, I need help. I'm messed up.

5 June 2011, someone confess his feelings to me.

In maths, I can help myself solving and cracking problems.

In love, I even can't solve single problem of it.

I tried to be strong, trying to be friends with him. I thought it was easy as it said.

"Let's just be friends, okay?"

easy when it's written, but not easy in real life.

I'm screwed. Losing a friend is more painful than losing a lover.

If "him" read this, I really appreciate your feelings. I still want us to be friends. I know I made a mistake before. I know I broke your heart. I wish I could fix this. I know I'm childish to write this on my blog because I'm still a child-hearted girl.

To all people: I need you, friend, to make a better force. I can't stand alone.

Samurai

Samurai..

When I heard that word, I remembered the definition itself when I was a little girl. My sister told me that "Samurai" was an immortal and strong japanese warrior.

I remembered one of the Cartoon Net's shows, "Samurai Jack", Jack was a samurai that was sucked into another dimension. He fought until the end, never gave up, and stood strong, even though he was in pain and in total mess. He was still searching for help, even though the helper wasn't a human being.

This time, I want to deliver my own "Samurai" to you.

This time, the "Samurai" is personal.

花 - Indonesia's True Beauty

On the beginning of May, I went to Mt.Geulis for camping. During the morning of the second day, my friends and I went for tracking in the rice fields and villages. It was stunning. I felt very calm. The best part is the view! There were flowers, villagers, chickens, children, rice fields, adventure, etc. There were dynamic atmosphere there. I said to myself, "Wow, I'm in love with this thing! This is the real beauty of Indonesia that you'll NEVER find anywhere in this world. This is the originality of Indonesia!"

The flowers represents the fields and on the back, there are rice stacks (?). I made the colors soft and strong at the same time to represent the elegance and the power of the villagers, especially the women. It also made of Jerami. The white slayer(?)'s motif comes from the chicken feather's motif that I saw during tracking. Last, the batik part means power of Indonesia.

This is what I'm in love with. This is my true love.

for the inspiration, check out these pics! (hopefully, the pics display the same thing what I'm hoping for)
