Panakawan Javanese Wayang Miniature Clay Thimble

I remember when I was a kid, there was comedy program on TV called Ria Jenaka. It presented comedians of Panakawan. I was not fan of it because its not really fun for me and not cute at all. (sorry) But here I am, I just understand what is Panakawan. If you know Javanese wayang, Panakawan is one of its. I am super proud of this Java heritage.

This is from wikipedia: "Punokawan or panakawan or panakavan (phanakavhan) are the clown servants of the hero. There are four of them – Semar (also known as Ki Lurah Semar), Petruk, Gareng and Bagong. Semar is the personification of a deity, sometimes said to be the dhanyang or guardian spirit of the island of Java. In Javanese mythology, deities can only manifest themselves as ugly or otherwise unprepossessing humans, and so Semar is always portrayed as short and fat with a pug nose and a dangling hernia.

His three companions are his adopted sons (I just know it.. they are his adopted sons hehe), 
They given to Semar as votaries by their parents. Petruk is portrayed as tall and gangling with a long nose, Gareng as short with a club foot and Bagong as obese." if you want to know further more then google it.

One of my craft friends ask me to make the miniature of the Panakawan complete with gamelans (Java music instruments) on the thimble. Since its very creepy actually for me, I want to made it more cute. I remember their face is white and red lips and their funny hair style, so I made it.

This miniatures made of Cernit polymer clay and I used WPO polymer clay varnish to give glossy looks. if you see the batik, I use polymer cane technique with asoka flowers inspiration. I use white, gold, brown and black combinations. I think making cane is quite addictive lol

So.. Enjoy my miniature, hope you like it. Please follow my instagram kurohouseofcraft

Dummy Food Emping Balado by KuroHouseofCraft

Bicara soal keripik, Indonesia adalah negara yang memiliki banyak sekali snack berupa keripik dan kerupuk. Satunya adalah emping, yang terbuat dari biji tanaman melinjo. 

Emping biasanya dipakai untuk menemani makan gado-gado dan aneka soto, tapi bisa langsung juga dicemil. 

Saya tidak menyangka tiba akhirnya bikin dummy makanan berupa keripik ini. Yang jadi spesial, biasanya emping yang manis pedas yang disebut juga Emping balado ini ukurannya kecil-kecil sekitar 3-4 cm, tapi ini dibikin jumbo jadi sekitar 14-15 cm diameternya. Hm.. yang makan jadi puas deh.. hihi sekali ambil besar..

Bikin dummy food/replika emping ini kesulitannya adalah di pori-porinya itu karena harus terlihat mekar dan renyah. Juga pewarnaan dari gula baladonya.. 

Tapi seneng deh bisa bikin salah satu snack kebanggaan Indonesia. Emping balado ! kres kres..enaknya..

Dummy Food Patatos French Fries by KuroHouseofCraft

"Kentang goreng adalah hidangan yang dibuat dari potongan-potongan kentang yang digoreng dalam minyak goreng panas. Di dalam menu rumah-rumah makan, kentang goreng yang dipotong panjang-panjang dan digoreng dalam keadaan terendam di dalam minyak goreng panas disebut French fries. Kentang goreng bisa dimakan begitu saja sebagai makanan ringan, atau sebagai makanan pelengkap hidangan utama seperti bistik, hamburger, fish and chips dan currywurst." (sumber: wikipedia)

Siapa yang nggak suka french fries? snack jaman old sampai jaman now dan jaman future ini akan selalu jadi kesukaan kita.
