Re(view)miniscence

Time passes by, and I was just missed some of great review about Journ(al)ey.

So, I'm trying to turning back the time, I put some of the review here and just want to thanks for them whose already giving their review for me. I owe you so much, and I will always support all the local movement here. So, everybody... you can check their review about Journ(al)ey right from the links below :
1. Review from Mbak Tarlen a.k.a Vitarlenology.

 

"Belum lagi efek teh yang membuat isi halaman notebook jadi terlihat antik. Cice bilang efek teh ini, memang dibuat dengan menggunakan tetesan teh. Makin lama warnanya akan makin coklat. Garis-garisnya dan kotak-kotaknya itu beneran di garisin satu-satu sama cice.. setiap notebook jadi sangat-sangat personal."

She always be my inspiration. She's a great and inspiring woman I've ever known. She learn bookbinding and looking forward for it. She show me some of her literature collection once we have a little chit-chat. Mbak Tarlen is the founder and the organizer of Tobucil and Klabs. Her product is always developing, and her bookbinding technique is the greatest. And all I want is being just like her. Thank you a lot Mbak Tarlen!


2. Review from Tobucil Handmade

"Perjalanan, apapun itu bentuknya adalah sebuah kisah yang menarik untuk dicatat, diceritakan. Kali ini Tobucil Handmade bercakap-cakap dengan sang pejalan tangguh.  Tentu saja, bukan biro travel yang menjadi tokoh utamanya. Adalah Cice sang penggagas Journ(al)ey dengan buku- bukunya yang ciamik dengan semena-mena mengajak untuk mengembara berkeliling Indonesia…"

3. Review from Laugh On The Floor

 "Tak hanya sekedar berbisnis memproduksi notes dan bookmarks (pembatas buku), masing – masing produk dibuat secara personal melalui sentuhan gambar-gambar tangannya. Bermodalkan gemar menulis, akrab dengan kertas sejak kecil, serta demand dari kawan-kawannya,   lahirlah Journ(al)ey.."

This is the online media that really have a complete review on their website. I feel so happy that they appreciate Journ(al)ey. They're so fun and nice. They send the question via e-mail, and I'm so happy to wrote them the answer. I told them about Journ(al)ey's story, and I hope you can also read it there. I always have a thought that I want to tell about Journ(al)ey's history here in my blog, but as usual, my procrastinating behaviour always delay me *sigh* So, before I (really) will wrote it here, maybe you can check it out first, based on their review :) Thank you a lot LOTF for the interview! :D

The Place Where Fiction and Reality Mingle : A Review

Hello... it's been a long time since my last post, I'm sorry for the laziness. It's a big bunch of procrastination I have for some months back there *biggrin*

And for my first post after so long time, finally, I'm finished editing (some) of my last trip photos to Jogja (okay, it was almost a year ago- I'm sorry, again) But, this things is killing me.. I know that I have to review this great place even if I do my procrastination for the whole time. Yes, it was LIRshop! The magical shop and I'm going there when I was at Yogyakarta (yes, my fave city, you guess). I put some of my product in this shop, you may check it out if you're going to Yogya sometimes!!

As you see, it's one of the magical things at the shop ;)

The owner, Mbak Mira has been so nice to me.. I really like her, the way that she dress and the way that she manage a shop like this was so dreamy (just like her twitter name - @dreamiy) XD and she is a blogger too!! You can check her blog here to know more about her. She's inspiring me a lot, and I love to take a peek at her blog too. And I knew directly, that she was so in love with books. And it can see from many books-inspired that she applied to her shop :)

About Crafty Days :)

Hello, everyone!! I'm back from the madness of Crafty Days by Tobucil. It was sooo great! That was my first time join the event. And I was so exhausted to prepare all the stuff. But in the end, it was going well. I met many talented crafters and feel so happy to share and listen to their stories. I feel so comfortable to be there, surroundings by so many people that have big dreams and passion. I hope I will be like them someday, to build my dreams and passion, and to prove that with dreaming we can make everything. So sad, I don't take any picture of the event. But I have one picture of my booth from the lovely crafter next to my booth, Mbak Aphrodita Wibowo from Cemprut. I knew her only from blogwalking and because of her products is amazing. It was so nice to meet her and her husband. They share their experiences to me, and I learn so many things from them. Thanks a lot Mbak Dita and Mas Agung!! :)

This the picture of my booth.
Mbak Dita took the picture :)

Okay, that a little story from Crafty Days. Maybe later I will post some picture (not many) because actually my boyfriend did take some picture ;p

1. thank and link to the person who awarded me this award.
2. share 8 things about myself.
3. pay it forward to 8 bloggers that i have recently discovered.
4. contact those blogger and tell them about their awards.

So, let's go done this whole things.. First of all, as I said before, thanks to Mbak Uty Destanto (once again) and off course I have linked her here in my blog. Check her lovely artwork at her blog here.

And then, I've got to tell you 8 things about myself.. Hmm, it's kinda hard, though. But, lets try a little..

1. I'm so much obsessive about memories. And adore all the old-school and vintage thingy. (gotta post about it later!)

this is my lovely old typewriter. It was belong to my father.

2. Love paper so much. I know it sounds weird, but I truly fallin' in love with paper since I was child. My father is researcher for wood and rayon fiber. And I remember he has one book full with sample of many kind of paper. And I love to steal it from his drawer, just to smell the scent of paper or to feel its texture.

a little peek of the process

3. I love books. Literally. Books. Not only as literature, but book as it shape. The binding, the cover, and sometimes the smell, if it an old book--well, you know what I mean?

picture from here

4. I'm working as a carpet designer in the suburbs. So, actually, I'm a little 'away' from the civilization by the weekday.

see threads like this every day. weaving and weaving.

5. I'm falling in love with traditional dancing. it's just like my sanctuary on my hectic days.



6. Really loves my mom. And Dad. And my two brother. Family. Can't live without them.

this is my beloved dad

7. I have this writing hobbies. And I have another blog for this stuff. Check here if you wanna read my blabbings. Hehe



8. Last but not least, I'm going to tell you the fact, that it takes time around a month to done one journal that I've made. Since I made it alone by myself. First from the process of cutting and collect the paper. Until it sketches and draw and then I sew the cover. So, you better be patient if you're already order my journal. But I try to make it with all my heart and it's truly special for all this journal that I've done. ;D

another process (gotta share about it later)

Okay, now, I must forward this award to the other 8, here is the blogger that I think deserves for this award:

1. Nyala
2. Sehabis Hujan Ada Pelangi
3. Penulis yang pernah (go) blog!
4. Calm and Go
5. Dreamesh
6. Lia's Crafty Journey
7. Vantiani

And now, gotta go.. I must tell them about this award that I've gave to them. So, have a nice day all!!
