🎨About Intuitive Art/Intuitive Painting:
Intuitive Art is more bout the artist's emotions and personal expression than the idea behind the art. With guidance, we learn to access our intuition and imagination to communicate ideas, emotions, or thoughts without traditional techniques like planning, drawing or preliminary sketches. Intuitive Art is a journey to consciously connect with colours and the process of creation. 

See you there!

I get asked alot by artists and crafters on how to stay passionate. 💖 Truly, what helps the most is hitting pause for a moment (or days) to remember the fire when you first started pursuing what you love and reflect upon it through introspection or journaling (if you are like me who introspects thru writing).✍️

⏳️Time capsule:

Many years from now, if your descendants were to look up about you, which of your creation would you want them to find and why?

🤱It would definitely be my pregnancy journal! It is as personal as it can get about the realm of womanhood. The mother in me made me realise the woman in me from a lot of fronts including the creative sense of me. This piece of craft is one of my most physical and emotionally invested work.

🎉Maker of the Month 👇

🌟What are you most proud of creating?
I take pride in all my products, and I don't have a favourite among them because each represents a unique concept crafted as a limited edition.

👑What other services do you offer?
In addition to creating customized accessories, I'm currently preparing to launch a Sarawak beadwork Workshop during the special month of May. This workshop will be featured at the Mother's Day pop-up event with , offering a delightful Mom-Me Time bazaar experience.

💖What do you love most about your brand, and what do you think makes it unique and special?

"What I cherish most about my brand is its possible deep connection to my culture, heritage, and history embedded in my beadwork creation. As an Iban from Sarawak, I'm passionate about showcasing the intricate smaller beads traditionally used in our ethnic accessories, highlighting the dedication required to work with them compared to larger beads. My goal is to inspire appreciation for these small beads beyond Sarawak, bridging traditional designs with modern and contemporary styles. Finally, I aim to pass down this heritage to the next generation, as I learn about it from my mother who, in turn, learned from my late grandmother."

🎉Feb 2024 Maker of the Month 👇

🏆Best advise you have ever received:
Embrace the creative journey. Keep exploring, experimenting, and finding joy in the diverse facets of creativity.

Whether it’s through painting, pottery, animations, or any other form, each endeavor contributes to my growth and the richness of my craft.

It’s a constant encouragement to see creativity as a lifelong exploration, beyond the confines of any particular venture.

🌈 Staying Motivated:
As creators, we’re constantly immersed in the excitement of creating the next big thing. Yet, amidst the hustle, it’s crucial to carve out moments for self-care and mental well-being. Remember, you’re a human too, your craft thrives when you do 😉

For Artists, Crafters, Makers & DIY hobby-lovers!

The Artsy Craftsy is a Malaysian arts and crafts platform to help you be creative, make art, stay crafty (and love handmade!) via creative arts and DIY crafts resources. Here, we celebrate the artists, crafters, makers and creative hobby-lovers!

Hi! I’m Shia Lynn, Creator of The Artsy Craftsy. I created The Artsy Craftsy in 2008, as an arts and crafts blog to help people discover their inner artist and joy of creation while supporting the local creatives. With the years of networking with artists & crafters, my aim is to contribute to the growth of the creative community, and to empower people to be creative.

How The Artsy Craftsy Started

Originally started off as a blog in 2008 when there were no local craft blogs, The Artsy Craftsy's mission was to help people discover their inner artist and the joy of making through stories about the creator's personal creative journey, DIY craft tutorials and creativity tips on overcoming creative blockages. As an inspiration, the blog also featured some of the Malaysian artists, crafters and makers. In 2015, it became an arts and crafts platform to cultivate creativity through online and offline activations. Thanks to the support of our community, we are grateful that we are still one of the popular names in the Malaysian arts and crafts community
