Below are some images showcasing both the finished and unfinished works of rattan furniture.
I personally like the 3rd image due to its simplicity in shape and  its rhythmical approach in pattern design.
Now, it's your turn , which is your favorite?

Last May, I visited Institut Kraf Negara that situated at Rawang

I was so lucky to have my talented blogger friend Rizal with me the whole session, he is the senior lecturer in IKN. It's a guided tour together with him and he introduced all the art departments here in details. Among there are art departments for batik, wood craft, rattan and ceramic. But I have a particular interest in rattan art as I have never witness such innovative creations by our local craft students before. Each piece is excellently designed & executed. I especially have an eye for the yellow bloom rattan basket. shown above.  

My whole journey was throned with lots of excitement & surprises, I was given some beautiful souvenirs to bring home. Indeed, it's a satisfying visit and I am hoping to make another visit again!

The Malaysian Rice-Plates Project

The Malaysian Rice-Plates aims to celebrate the melting-pot in Malaysia by selected Malaysian artists.

With rice being the stable food in Asia, the rice-plate is an important symbol of unity as all Malaysian eat their rice mostly from plates.

It's also a sign of survival as the rice plate symbolizes the way one makes a living.
It also acts as an introduction for foreign visitors to the rich world of art in Malaysia and will be an unique experience for people to view this project as a whole or individual piece reflects the artists' distinct individual approach to the theme

It has been put together by Wei-Ling Gallery and is presented by the Ministry of Tourism in conjunction with the 1st Malaysian Contemporary Art Tourism 2011.

Here is the glimpse of it captured on video and shots. Hope you enjoy them one by one.
My favourites are 9, 27, 29 and 33.
