Sommigen van jullie weten wellicht dat mijn vader in Indonesië werd geboren en ik als kind al veelvuldig in die prachtige Gordel van Smaragd ben geweest. Inmiddels heb ik ook samen met mijn man veel van de eilanden daar mogen bezoeken, maar Bali heeft toch wel een heel speciaal plekje in ons hart. De mensen, de cultuur, de schitterende natuur, het eten, de dansen, de tempels en zo kan ik nog wel even door gaan. Op Deviantart (artiest In-Sine) kwam ik deze schitterende tekening tegen van een Balinese legong-danseres. Tempels worden daar afgesloten met houten deuren voorzien van het meest fantastische houtsnijwerk en dat heb ik hier een beetje willen nabootsen met behulp van die geweldige nieuwe mallen van Memory Box. Veel groen aan de binnenzijde, want bloemen en planten kenmerken Bali.
Some of you probably know that my father was born in Indonesia and that I spent quite a few holidays as a child in this beautiful country with its thousands of islands. Over the years my DH and I were fortunate enough to visit a lot of those islands, but I must confess that Bali has a very special place in both of our hearts. Its people, its culture, an overwhelmingly beautiful natural environment, delicious food, dances, temples and what have you. I came across this beautiful drawing of a Balinese legong dancer on Deviantart (by an artist called In-Sine). Temples and compounds in Bali have intricately carved wooden doors, which I tried to copy a bit by using those fab new dies from Memory Box. With lots of green on the inside, for flowers and plants are so characteristic to Bali:
