MAKEN LIVING (introduction)

Hello, everyone :)

in this early July,
I wanna tell you about one project
that I'm working on in the  past 2 months.
I'm working on Maken Living Products.
So, here we go!

Firstly, I need to introduce what Maken is. 

Maken is taken from Dutch language that means make. 

Maken is a brand who believe in the power of making. 

Maken encourages anyone to make things to beautify
their living experiences. 

This short video below would like to explain what Maken is.

Unfinished Wooden Box

 

 Hello, everyone!

I have contacted pretty good carpenter for small works like this in Bantul, Yogyakarta. I've designed the box and give it to him. My idea, this box would be storage for saving anything fit in it. Why unfinished, because I'm strictly order to the carpenter that I don't want any of finishing oil on it. Just make the surface smooth. 2 weeks after, my box is ready!

I have plan to make some engravings on it. I just came up with the idea of my fav quote : "Love is unseen tranquilizer". At the back, I just put my watermark. I think, I can put my blog's QR code on it. But unfortunately, the color of the wood doesn't support my QR code to be read. Maybe better luck next time. haha..

This is still my experiment,

I'll bring you better box with fully functioned QR code for my watermark soon. 

Enjoy! Have a great day! :)

stiching on plywood :)

Today, I just finished a little stitching work. I have a piece of plywood (a bad one actually). And I was thinking of make some stitching on it. I prepared my screwdriver and put drilling bit on it. And then I drew some sketch on the plywood. I just make some dots following the lines. And I drill it. drrr drrr drr.. :))

After finished making 3mm holes across the line, I wanna make the surface of plywood more smooth using sand-paper. And I started to stitch on it! here the result! :D
have a nice Saturday :)

Screencast Postcard Box

Hello Dello..!! long time no see! haha.. :)) I've been lil busy with my academic activity. I have new story to tell.. This is August, many things gave birth on this month. Indonesia, and then the scout, and also my partner, Putri Anugrah Sekar Ati. :D

Do you still remember about SCREENCAST? my project with Putri.. Its kind of daily photo blog, and we're still on the run! we hits around 460 posts now!

And the story is just connected between Putri's Birthday and this project. Yes, I had idea to make this thing, a Screencast Postcard Box as a birthday gift for my Screencast partner. 

This Postcard Box made from "Sono Keling" wood, we call it kayu hitam (black wood) because of its color. The whole concept from this box is as miniature of the simplest camera. It just because our Screencast project isn't far away from camera. Not a professional one. 

Honestly, I just have the idea, but other execute this. The size is fit to save a conventional postcards. You can open this camera by pulling the lens. 

This year, Putri hits 28! and inside the box, I gave 28 special Screencast postcards. I hope she loves it! Happy birthday, partner! :) best wishes for ya!

see ya! enjoy the pictures!
