Sulaman manik ?

~ Beading passion ~

Just want to sharing my passion with others through my blog about beadwork . Bead come in different size and shape made from various material...woods...shells...stones...glass among others. These beads are crafted into beautiful jewelery...sewn onto fabric among others. It also depend on the artisan skill and knowledge...  

Beading was part of  Iban culture, proudly my culture, my heritage....Beadwork is very popular in Borneo and has been passed down through the ages as a traditional art among the many ethnic groups of Sarawak , Iban ethnic especially... They play a big role in the daily lives of local communities. For women, beads have always been a symbol of beauty and splendour .

Here is some of my handmade beadwork...my first trial actually. 


Tango or Iban bead collar ~ yang ni mengambil masa berbulan-bulan utk disiapkan, & beribu biji manik tersulam disini rasanya....




This one called Lupung in Iban language or small pouch . It's also can used in car decorations. ~ yang ni pula, mengambil masa 2 minggu untuk disiapkan...untuk yang expert menyulam, 2 hari boleh siap kot...





Car sling ~  yang ni pula, 3 jam dah siap....boleh juga dijadikan perhiasan di dalam kereta





Marik or necklace  ~  yang ni pula, dlm masa seminggu la juga nak siap....Biasanya rantai ni dipakai sebagai aksesori pelengkap gaya, ye la..namanya pun dah rantai kan...






I also use necklace as part of my home decoration as you seen at this picture.
