Slow time

It has been such a slow time for us as we do not have much order and we haven't been able to sell our works lately but we have to keep the works for all the beaders and again I ended up filling up my room with all the beautiful baskets. They are well kept in many boxes, sitting on our tables and shelf but they are beautiful there on their place until there will be market for them in the future.

It is a little nervous for us to have so many baskets in our stock and it is such a big invetment and keeping the work we indeed need some cash flow...

As you see, we have been trying to put advertising everywhere but let's see what's gonna bring us in the near future....

Wish us luck.

Beading at our workshop

It is the daily activity at our workshop creating the beaded baskets, children are coming home after school and the young village's mothers are spending their free time after finishing the house works. The beading is also more like a socializing activity for everyone where they share jokes, stories and even gossip. They always have such a great fun during the works, patiently hand strung the tiny seeds beads onto the woven rattan baskets. Ketut, Ayu, Nilayanti, Indah, Yulina, Agus and Tinawati are busy with her baskets.

Ni Luh Susanti

I was born in Bali-Indonesia on December 28th, 1995 and right now is studying at the local secondary school which is around 3 kilometers from my home. I am spending my free time before school to bead to make extra money and also want to be creative in my spare time but of course my school homeworks in my priority but still there are plenty of time for me to bead. I go to school at noon as I am still at grade 1 of secondary. It is only the students of grade 2 and 3 that go to school in the morning. I would be using my couple hours free time in the morning to create the beaded baskets.

I am very happy to have an opportunity to have a part time job which is kind of hard here in my country as a student. I love being able to make some money by myself to help my parents who are only a traditonal farmer.

I was born on Monday, May 10th, 1971. I am married with kids and live in Bali-Indonesia. I am a housewife and having another small business opening a little shop that sells food and drink at the local school. I am having some free time while waiting for my shop when the school kids are back in the class room after breaks, so I would my free time at the shop to bead, making extra money for my family and my kid's education.

It is actually fun to hand strung the tiny seeds beads onto the rattan basket to loose my boring and lonely when the kids are back in the class. The school kids are the only customers that I have in my shop where they come to the shop when they have a hreak time to have little snacks.

KTK - Square Beaded Rattan

We are creating some square boxes in size of W = 8 Inches. H = 4 Inches. We are still using woven rattan baskets as our base. There have been quit a little difficulties for us to bead this shape of basket, especially when we hand strung the seeds beads around the square part, but we did a good job on it so we are all very proud of what we have created. Please have a look at what we have created.
