Thanks for such a marvellous chance to be involved in creating the beaded baskets.

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.

Ni Wayan Sudiasih

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.

Happy New Year 2008!

Our warmest greetings from Bali! Shanti Seeds of Bali group would love to wish everybody for a great new year 2008. The year 2007 has given us all so much good things and we would love to thank to everyone who have given their great concern and contribution to our works. We are so grateful that we have been able to present our works to everyone around the world, and may our creations have been a valuable collection to anyone who has collected our beaded baskets. We are wishing that we are going to continuously having your support in the future. We are looking forward to present more of our works in the New Year 2008.

We were celebrating farewell for the year 2007 by going out with the beaders today, December 30th to visit the Bali Zoo Park and Bali Bersalju (Snowy Bali). Everyone was having such a great time and they were enjoying the Fauna at the Zoo park and having a fabulous time and really full of fun at the Snow Park in Kuta. Well, of course we do not have snow in Bali naturally but they were having the snow park in Kuta where we could at least feel the cold of your winter and touching the snow. Everyone was too excited about it and didn’t feel how cold the room was. Kids were sliding down on the snow trail that they have designed in the room, enjoying the ice carving.

It was really a great outing for everyone and they are still talking about it and surely it is going to be a continuous topic for the next few weeks in our workshop.

Happy New Year 2008!
