(since takde siapa pun baca blog ni, so bolehlah letak gambar kebaya hijau ni). Design ni copy dari Noramanik design sebab memang request customer untuk design ini (siap email gambar design Nora to me - actually I yang request dia email hihiks).
It took me almost 2 weeks to complete because I can only embroider during lunch hour on weekdays (rarely I have the opportunity to bead at night due to beads order packing activity) and on weekend.
There are 10 pink sisik ikan flowers and 12 yellow sisik ikan flowers (total 22 flowers). And the leaves - 148 pieces...that was lots of work, I tell ya.
For me, the tedious part is the leaves, not the sisik ikan (fish scale) flower itself.
By the way, there are 2 bouquets of flowers on each sleeve.
Most of the materials can be obtained from Zaimanik Online Store at http://zaimanik.fotopages.com.
