Up until now, I would say that Thai Silk clothes are still worn in limited group of Thais. Probably because the good quality Thai silk one tends to be a lot more expensive than fast fashion clothing, but if you once ever wear real Thai silk, you will understand it worths the price. 現在のタイにタイシルクが着ている人は少ない。普通の衣服と比べると、高質のタイシルクはすごく高いのです。しかし、一回着てみると、それが高い値段に見合うことがわかるでしょう。 We got this beautiful tie dyed silk piece from one silk maker whom we have known long ago. Each piece is very l

As I wrote in the title, it has all started from my love of having fancy things on my head.... ok, this sounds a bit strange but it was something like that. Probably when I was younger, my hair was always in mess, so I had to cover it up with something, or I just thought I look prettier with it...haha I tend to love beret than other items just because here in Bangkok is a super warm, and humid city, it is difficult to me to put on hat all day, but beret can be easily fold int

This time Japanese Daruma doll takes the lead role of our design. Taken from the Japanese craft and illustration books, we used applique technique recreating the drawing. Different materials were gathered, also Thai batik fabric, put together to make our unique Daruma doll ornaments. Although we used both Thai traditional fabric combined with Japanese traditional design, we think the outcome is very unique and interesting. How do you think? 今回だるま人形は私たちのデザインの主人公になりました。日本の技術と絵本

The world is small....ok, I'm not so sure who was the first to say that but that is what they say. Even this world is so small, but there are some people who loves to create an even smaller world, one of them is TERRARIUM CRAFTS ; blogger who is a plant artist and also craft worker. Started from 3 years ago when first seeing an image of an old man with a huge terrarium he planted years and years ago, after that she decided to make her own utopia by starting to make terrarium

One day when I was sitting and sewing this beret at a cafe, there was a lady, I would guess she might be old enough to be my mother, came and said to me " This beret is lovely, you do it as your hobby or you sell it too?" , " I do sell it too" I replied. " I think my mom would look good on this beret, you see, my mom she always has to be on bed, not that she would go out anyway, but I believe when all relatives come and visit her, she would look so delighted if she has this b

Christmas is just behind the corner and I believe many parties will be happened during a day or two, same as mine. Since a lot of people might be away during the season, the pop up party can't be avoided, and it is urgent! I went through Pinterest, and decided that despite the fact that Thailand has only Summer all year, this year I will dress up as Snowflake. What I need for this costume are very simple, but the most important one is one meter of woolen fabric..... ok and gl

Today item is easy jacket made from Indigo Japanese cotton. The shades of indigo make my Friday so calm and creative.

Using Thai fabric on works has always been challenging for us. lately, Thai silk and Thai cotton are being used by many Thai designers who want to show their ideas, so the question is how to be different? Being your true self is one big answer, but how to translate that into designs? タイの布を使うことはいつも私にとって挑戦になります。最近は、多くのタイのデザイナーたちにタイシルクとタイの木綿を使います。その中で何か私がオリジナルなものを作るのは難しいでしょうか。ここでは自分らしさを失わないことが大事だと思いますが、その自分らしさをデザインにどのように活かしたらいいでしょうか。 This lemon yellow hand-weaved cotton from the

Among of so many Hill Tribe fabrics that our mom has been kept for long, my sister took some of them to remake, and this is one of them. From the "sailor collar" inspiration, she turns the classic fabric into a bit modern style clothes, but still let the hill tribe fabric be the center of the design. 私たちのお母さんが持っている山岳民族の民族衣装布のコレクションの中に、お姉さんは一つを選んで、新しいものを作り直します。彼女は、山岳民族の民族衣装布を中心としながら、セーラーカラーからインスピレーションを受けて、 新しく見える服を作っています。 I think what so important on using old fabric in modern

I just finished my new work. I felt like doing something feel light and sweet, so I came up with this. Like flowers that fall and float from tree by the cool breeze in Spring....wait, I know it is Autumn now, but in Thailand is all year Summer, so I have a right to imagine. lol Since I use see-through fabric, I use organzas silk for decorating as well, to make more layers. Using little flower laces gives much more delicate look than big one. Finished! Let's celebrate with hot

Just spotted new hall display at Siam Discovery department store in Bangkok using papercut-style work. All the same size with different colors, repeatedly put together may looks so simple, but make an incredible look of display. This type of technique can be adapted to any decorations such as T-shirt, party decoration, Christmas tree, etc. Later I will try using this craft technique and see what we can get. :) วันก่อนไปเดินสยามดิสคัฟเวอรี่ เห็นคนกำลังติดตั้งดิสเพลย์ใหม่ในโถงช

The day before I ran into one uncle who sold the candy which I haven't seen long ago. "as time maybe when I was 10 years old..., or maybe just because they usually sell it at primary school. 昨日はある大道商人のおじさんを越えて、急に20年ぶり見たことがないキャンディを気づきました。小学校のころだろう。 I believe almost every country around the world has such candy that made from pure sugar for kids, and this is Thai's. どこでもそのような砂糖から作った簡単なキャンディがあるでしょうね。それはタイのバージョンです。 Inside the wood box is maybe stove inside which always keeps the

Any fabric that has similar pattern to this lace which has constant holes, we can create a whole new style of fabric by adding on fabric lines, sewing like cross-stitch. It is freestyle, you can go up and down anyhow you like. Today, I made this. #THEHANDMADEDIARY #HANDMADE #LACES #IDEAS #ASIANHANDMADE #CRAFTBLOGGER #CRAFTWORK #ARTANDCRAFT #ハンドメイド #クラフト #アイデア

" It is said that Tsugaru kites, a folkcraft of Aomori Prefecture, were first made in the 17th century by poor low-ranking members of the samurai class. Japanese kites generally have a bamboo frame, but as bamboo is difficult to grow in the Tsugaru district because of the severe cold, lightweight and supple cypress cut into thin strips is used instead. Tsugaru kites feature strong, thick lines in Japanese ink and a picture of a warrior painted in brilliant colors, predominant

Ok, I'm not so sure why, but in Thailand we have the "Legendary Green Tea Frappucino",but it is not on Starbucks's menu though. What is it anyway? I wonder too, so today I got a chance during "Buy 1 Get 1 free" promotion. I just simply said "May I get the Legendary Green Tea frappe, please?" Sounds a little bit fancy huh? タイのStarbucks では伝統的なお茶フラペチーノという飲み物がありますが、メイヌの中にありません。これは何ですか。私も分かりません。でも、今日はPromotionがあるので、私は飲んでみたい。［伝統的なお茶フラペチーノお願いします〜］と言って、ちょっと待ちます。 Searching from intern

We are still walking around Aomori, Japan. Among such a beautiful nature of Aomori, we also found some little cute place which is full with handmade works. 青森県の岩木山の麓にある手作りに溢れる店をご紹介させていただきたい。 The sign is written "Teshigoto" directly means "hand work"....exactly!!! hahaha and seems we come as early as the shop owner, ok let's help her open the shop, and see what inside. The owner of the shop is Tomiko Saito. Here you can find cloth and bags made in the technique of “free han

My sis and I we went through Adidas UK for customised T-shirts for our siblings as presents. Each person got numbers from 01-04 following the eldest to the youngest. Usually such sport brands have this service for people who do sport in team, but sometimes the service can be useful for special events like this too. Because family is one team as well. 😎 วันก่อนนู้น พี่สาวกับเราเข้าเวปไซต์ของ Adidas UK เพื่อที่จะสั่งเสื้อเป็นของขวัญให้กับพี่น้องของพวกเราเป็นเสื้อแบบสั่งเฉพาะ
