JAZAKALLAH KHAIR TO ALL

Im honoured to share my recent Raya Collection 2008 – CENDERAWASIH, with all the BEs fans and supporters. May this design will inspired the rest to keep on beading with passion and spirit!

Why CENDERAWASIH? Coz all of u (my supporters and fans), i’d wanted to valued all,  just like how people valued the bird. Without u all.. my objective takkan kemane..and im not here today!

So inilah dia.. sketches atas paper. The sketches dpt ilham masa tgh dengar lagu ‘Lagu Cenderawasih’ by a local rock group – KRIS. The song was written by a famous song writer known as Sifu – M.Nasir (i loved all his songs) and lyrics by Nurbisa.

Nak cite skit..According to sciencetific classification, Cenderawasih is a type of bird in paradisaeidae family, known as Passeriformes. The bird only can be found in the Australasia continent somewhere in east side of Indonesia, New Guinea and South Australia.

Keunikannye terletak pada bulu pelepahnye yg panjang dan berambu2 dari ekor, sayap mahupun kepala. Name glamernye, ‘Burung Syurga – The Bird of Paradise‘.

Burung Cenderawasih ni, kalau diikutkan kepercayaan dr cerita2 lama Melayu, ianya berasal dari dari kayangan. Ia dikatakan hanya minum air embun dan apabila ia jatuh di bumi, ia akan mati, namun badannya tidak akan reput.

Ia mempunyai cerita dan lagenda tersendiri. Kata orang burung ini membawa tuah. Selalu juga dikaitkan sebagai berkhasiat tinggi dalam perubatan. Ia juga dikaitkan dengan pelaris kepada sesiapa yang memilikinya.

Utk rekaan ni, it’s a combination of 4 techniques which are running stich, running beads, wing of sequin (WS) & fish scale. As for the colors (since it’s was inspired from The Bird of Paradise) i’d choosed rainbow colors.Pasni keliling2 nye akan disulamkan dengan style manik tabur. Tak abis lagi. Insya allah..

There’s a few more design for this year raya. I’ll uploaded skit2.

Nak sambung tido smula.. ngantuk..
