Bead
Work
 From
time immemorial Sarawakians have decorated their lives with
beads. Costumes, baby carriers, ladies bags and sun hats are
alive with ornately traced designs picked out in glowing, primary
colours. The Orang Ulu have made this art their own. From mass
produced plastic beads to collector’s items worth thousands
of dollars, they turn beads into beauty. |
|
| The
colourful kaleidoscope that is life in Sarawak is reflected
in the colour and vibrancy of intricate beadwork. Beads add
a new dimension to everyday objects making each a collector’s
item. |

The
Lun Bawang from Long Tuma make their own ceramic beads, which
they form into colourful and imaginative necklaces.
These
are not only highly prized in the longhouses but make unusual
accessories that blend well with modern western fashions.
