Indies???

Asslamualaikum.. Is anybody in da house?? Hehe..

How are u?? Great?? Good..

I've never felt better before.. hehe..

So, my topic for today is about 'indies'..

What is actually behind the words of 'indies'??

Where does the word come from??

Well, for those who has yet to know what does 'indie' means,

it came from the word 'independant'..

This also means that anybody or an organization who can 'stand on their own feet'..

Indies are similar to 'hippies' in the 60's..

It's just that it is much more broader in term of what they are 'fighting' for..

hippies are more towards musics and ur dressing..

but indies are different..

In Malaysia, when u said about indies, people always misunderstood that it only means

'indie bands' such as Meet Uncle Hussein(AJL winner), Bittersweet and Bunkface(they rock!!!)..

But actually, indies are much broader than that..

It involves all those indie designers, indie bloggers or indie artists as well..

Surprise ha??

Dah agk dah.. Hehe..

But that is the fact..

For ur info, we have loads of talented indie designers and artists or bloggers as well out there..

Pity them that no one notice them..:'(

To name a few..

The Frou Frou

Bangkit who design T-shirts..

Mimpi Murni Jewellry

n so lots more..

They are specialise in handmade crafts and could be found at gigs normally..

So, that's why we should support these 'independants'

because they got 'pure talent'..

They 'design' what they wanna do..

They fork out their own money to 'survive'..

They don't have an 'office' to operate..

They do arts and design for a living..

They do arts with lots of hearts..

So, fellas..

Support indies!!

Buy handmades..

I've made my pledge..

When will u??

*U can view Frou Frou's blog and also make a pledge by clicking the links under the survey.. For independant supporters, make an account in 'indie public'..

INDIES

For Indie Lovers

It's All about Arts..

Hye!!! How are you today?? Stressed?? Chill lah.. Hey, I got some interesting activity for you to release those tensions.. What?? Smoking?? Nope.. Not by smoking.. Of course not by killing someone lah..

Here, have you heard about stenciling, folk art, decoupage or glass painting before?? Of course about arts lah.. what, you're not interested in arts?? No way!! There should be some arts in you.. You just didn't know it..

ok2, here, what I said just now, about the folk art and so on, it's a form of art lah of course tapi bukan lah art yg cam kite p tgk kat galeri seni tu or pelukis lukis bnda yg xde rupe ape2 pun..(no offense) Art ni lagi best wo!! Korang lukis ats pinggan, cermin or even a bulb!! believe it or not?? Believe it..hehehe..

In our world of so much pace nowadays, we still need to find time to relax and enjoy life.. So, if you feel stressed out catching up with the pace, this art could do more good than harm.. Trust me lah.. Still don't trust ka?? Wait till u tanya ini boss, Mr. Zahir Bin Yusof, who is the owner of Craven Cottage, which is a handicraft shop at Amcorp Mall..

In my opinion, this is the place where you can unleash the creative side of you that you never even bother to care for all this while.. Hey, besides that, you could even release all those work that kept bugging you even in your dreams.. hehehe.. So, why not spend your weekend for two hours and get great benefit from it..

The owner also conducts craft classes for those who would like to learn the basics about decoupaging, stenciling, and others as well thru out the week.. What?? You r too young?? The owner said that they also provide classes for children starting from 6 years old to 13 years of age.. So, no way you're saying that you're too young.. Adult classes?? of coz la ade.. He didn't say any age limit.. So, as long as u are able to hold a brush, than that's fine la.. hehehehe.. What?? No time ka?? No problem.. All classes will be held by appointment.. So, when you're free, don't feel hesitated to call them..

So, for further information, you can't contact me but u can contact Mr. Zahir thru call or fax at 03-7955 5909 or email him at eshack2000@yahoo.com or why not stop by at his shop and buy stuff's there.. Drop by at Craven Cottage, Lot 352, Level 3, Amcorp Mall, 18, Jalan Persiaran Barat, 46050 Petaling Jaya, Selangor Darul Ehsan.. Too lazy ka?? No big deal.. take a peep at this website..www.creativecottageonline.com...
