have you considered trying batik or other traditional malaysian hand crafts/arts?

i have tried batik! i did a residency at a natural dye studio called threads of life in ubud, indonesia last year where i learned from a balinese natural dyer the traditional methods of dyeing with indigo, mud, and several indigenous plants and trees. he also taught me traditional batik with wax and canting. it was one of the best experiences of my life and i would love to go back and spend more time learning with them one day 🥹🤎 i really enjoyed the batik process but it took some practice, i feel like i would need at least a couple weeks of intensive practice to be able to feel semi-competent with it lol

there's a traditional weaving teacher also in ubud that another seasian textile artist friend has studied with, and the teacher has invited me to apprentice with them too so someday soon i want to go back and spend more time there. i have to apply for grant funding and all of that stuff first

Vibrant Patterns Envelop Dozens of Mythical Animal Sculptures That Explore the Folk Art Traditions of Mexico

In Guardians, artists María del Carmen Mendoza Méndez and Jacobo Ángeles Ojeda, of Jacobo and Maria Ángeles Workshop, pay homage to the mythical creatures of their Oaxacan childhoods. The husband-wife duo carves the soft wood of the copal tree into fantastical creatures that reference Mesoamerican spirituality and Mexican folk art, including the sculptures known as alebrijes. They refer to the unearthly characters as Tonas and Nahuales and cloak the birds, butterflies, and beasts in vibrant patterns and Zapotec symbols.
