Bali


There is something about Bali that I love. It gives me much energy and inspirations... I just felt so happy  while spending time there...

The island is so beautiful.... . spending time walking in the beach... and waiting for sunset...were wonderful moments for me, and I guess for hundreds of people who were there with me too... LOL. A few seconds when the sun hit the horizon was worth a wait. 

I lived in Bali when I was a  kid, although only just for a couple of years, but the memory is still in my mind... the beach... shells.. sands..  colorful boat ..the  garden... frangipani trees along the road.. the scenery.. and the houses...

Balinese living among art in their everyday life. It is the source of life for them...this amazed me. They are painter, batik maker, jewelry maker, wood and stone carver and many more..
Back then... I didn't really realize that all that kind of art  really gave me a pure joy. All I knew that I enjoyed seeing them working and admiring the final result.
Little did I know what I enjoyed the most when I was growing up was really what I want to do later in my life. Do something I love with all my heart .

Being an Artist is my dream... oh.. how dare I am called myself as an Artist... but...I guess my path leading me to the artful life... OMG.. let me be living my dream... :)

 Now I had a chance to be there for only 4 days... just a little getaway...enjoying the food and shopping activities with my mom and sisters... Fun.. Fun.. Fun.

This a silver jewelry place .. they open the factory where we can see how they make a delicate silver jewelry piece... they are so beautiful....





The entry is really luring me in.... just wonder what they are... . the shop is just makes my jaw dropped. They are simply just stunning.






All I can say about this is they really give their heart to their works...   WOW





Decorative pieces for your homes.... they are so cute... and colorful... aren't they ?




I think these are made from metal sheets... Wow.. the creativity is endless for them...  Love it.           They make an art from any kind of material... Stones, wood, metal, clay, silver, fabrics, even an egg shell... .                                                                                                                                                                                                              Love this one too... :)    It takes time for me to pick the color that I like... they are all so beautiful. These are a decorative plates made of clay and painted glass. and . and look... it is painted ukulele and a bird kites....


 
Now you know how can you leave Bali without adding more bags ?

What did I find for my creative spirit ? of course Bali batiks and lots of beads... :) for my quilts and jewelry... ooooh.... it's so exciting. I'll post more about what I get for myself from this little getaway....

So... plan your next vacation to this beautiful island.. 
Sure this vacation will satisfies your precious soul. 

Felt so happy and satisfied... Thanks be to God....
