Koffie

My first experience on dyeing with coffee! 

On the last art market I participate in, I have to make one product that was inspired by coffee. So suddenly I was thinking about dyeing one of my product with coffee. I was pretty surprised to see a lot of tutorial on dyeing fabric using coffee in the internet. So with no doubt, I start to collect the kit and start the experiment.

I use this tutorial for the experiment, allthought I use my use my own measurement. I use more coffee and more time to soak the fabric. The end result is as what I already expected were not too bold, but it gives some rustic feeling and to be add the incredible coffee aroma that soak after it. The tutorial said you can soak it into soap or laundry it to wash away the aroma, but what's the use on dyeing with coffee if you don't get the smell?!!

PS: I finally made tote bags from the fabrics, the product will be on sale in draoupads's facebook page next week! So be prepare, and I hope you like it.

Kopling;The Opening

Ha! I knoow... its waaaay to late to post this, better late than never..I think..;P. There you go, some snaps from Kopi Keliling Opening Art Market!

Blaah.. I don't really have much time to take shoots and paying attention on the result, so very sorry for the poor quality, just think it as a deliberately art form! (yah rite)

 - One of the display, I don't know, at the time I suddenly really get into feathers.. so I decorate my stand mostly with feathers

- My boho chic/feathery/hasteful stand.. On the end of the show, I get really frustrated with the hanger, its broken because of loosing some of its bolts (I forgot to bring it from the studio, stupid)

- The hanging decoration I made all night. Hhahahaa.. some of my friend says I suppose to sell this too

- Again, one of my display look, with feathers and coffee bean

- Some of other crafter display, there are still a lot of them actually, but I can't manage to shoot them all, simply because I have to stay in my stand for almost the whole show

- Again, some cool craft, I am sadly had not much time to take a look more

- Beside the art market, there are some music and art performance from many artists, and off course the climax are from everybody's favorite pupet theather; THE Papermoon Pupet Theater! :)

There you go, see you on another art market!

Updating. (part 1: Gift Show!)

Geez... its been three months since my last posting.. maaan that's baad.. My last weeks has been busy preparing some gift show and coping back with my anthropological side of me (which in fact I realize how much I miss it) Well, okay, the good news is (at least for me); I'm back!! yiay...

There are sooooo many stories to tell! I don't know where to start, well lets just sum some of it, and lets start with some gift show I involved in

Festival Budaya 

At Bentara Budaya Jakarta

This is an event created by Kompas-Gramedia group, in commemorating the Birthday of their founding father Jakob Oetama. This is my first solo gift show, so it was a complete shipwreck back then, hahaaa.. I've learn  a lot though..;)

See The Invisible

New York

Yup, you heard it right, draoupads is going abroad! Less myself unfortunately..:'(.. But well, its been a great opportunity for us! This is basically one of a fundraising activity that was held by my former workplace Kampung Halaman Foundation, and guess what, they've been receiving an award, and been given directly by Mrs Obama herself.. way to go! 

For more info about the event, you can clik here. Anf off course, if you are interesting about Kampung Halaman Foundation and its program, please visit their website here.

Besides the two above, there are still some giftshow which I involved in it, but unfortunately, because I'm out of town I can't document it here. But those two above are definitely the highlite! Hopefully I can do much much better next time ;)
