ALL NATURAL SKINCARE FROM THE DEAD SEA. THE LOWEST POINT OF DRY LAND ON EARTH IS THE SHORELINE OF THE DEAD SEA AT 1,300 FEET BELOW SEA LEVEL. THE DEAD SEA IS LOCATED IN THE SYRO-AFRICAN RIFT, A 4,000 MILE FAULT LINE IN THE EARTH'S CRUST. THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE LOWEST POINT MEANS THAT THE WATER DOES NOT DRAIN. DAILY, 7 MILLION TONS OF WATER EVAPORATE, BUT THE MINERALS REMAIN, CAUSING THE SALT CONTENT TO INCREASE. THE WATER OF THE DEAD SEA CONTAINS MANY MINERALS, INCLUDING MAGNESIUM, CALCIUM, BROMINE, ZINC, SODIUM, POTASSIUM, AND MORE. TWELVE OF THESE ARE FOUND IN NO OTHER SEA OR OCEAN, AND SOME ARE RECOGNIZED FOR IMPARTING A RELAXED FEELING, NOURISHING THE SKIN, ACTIVATING THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM, AND FOR EASING RHEUMATIC DISCOMFORT AND METABOLIC DISORDER. THE UNIQUE CONCENTRATION OF THE DEAD SEA WATERS HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE MEDICINAL VALUE. WHEN APPLIED TO THE SKIN, THE DEAD SEA MUD IMPROVES AND STIMULATES BLOOD CIRCULATION AND NOURISHES THE SKIN WITH MINERALS. MEDICINAL BLACK MUD IS ALSO USEFUL FOR CLEANSING AND SOFTENING THE SKIN.

Sewing is done by a single tailor for each entire garment, rather than by an assembly line method as in most garment factories. Because of the complicated krawang production process, most garments must be sewn in several stages. For example the shoulders and yoke of a blouse may be sewn first so that the krawang can be added across the front and back of the yoke while the yoke lies flat on the table, then the side seams are sewn only after this krawang is finished. In this case, the garment generally goes back to the original tailor for the second step of sewing.

With their foot-powered sewing machines, Balinese quickly learned to make lace and to master skills that were fast disappearing elsewhere in the world. And with the arrival of the Indonesian government in Bali in 1949, officials began to encourage the Balinese women to wear blouses. (The Dutch who had colonised the rest of the Dutch East Indies as they were then known, left Bali almost completely alone and interfered little with Balinese tradition.) Kebaya blouses soon became popular as garments to wear to temple, even if most women still went topless around the house.

Uluwatu had never been a large company, and because Uluwatu had emphasised quality rather than volume, Made had established a particularly close relationship with many of the workers. Uluwatu had a built a small "factory" (though the rambling and relaxed collection of sheds surrounded by trees looks nothing like a conventional factory) in the provincial town of Tabanan in 1979. By the late-1980's, Uluwatu was part of a community. The workers who sewed in their homes for Uluwatu had bought their own machines, which were significant investments for them. For Uluwatu to abandon hand-sewn lace for electric machines would devastate families who depended on Uluwatu.

wish we could show you in detail how the krawang is done, because their work is like a spell of magic weaving across the bamboo hoop. They follow the faintest of lines silk-screened onto the fabric to guide them in their pattern. Many visitors cannot even see these pattern lines until they are carefully pointed out. The needle whirs so fast as to be invisible to our eyes, and with no needle guard to protect them (and which would also obscure the pattern), their fingers always dance away from the haze that is the needle while the krawang take miraculous shape under their fingertips.

Uluwatu White Lace Mid-Sleeve Blouse and Skirt Set

There are other ways to do krawang. Electric machines are available and are the primary production tool at most other krawang manufacturers. Electric machines are about 10 times faster than foot powered machines. They have a knee lever than causes the needle to vibrate; more pressure on the knee lever causes a wider swing of the needle. To make a leaf shape, for example, one starts with a slight pressure, increasing and then decreasing again as the hoop travels in a straight line across the table. The result is an extremely even, but somewhat thin textured, leaf.

Is the result from a foot-powered machine really better than that from an electric machine? I suppose it really comes down to personal taste. In general, the result from an electric machine is less durable because the extremely even weave is less interlocked; a single broken thread can cause an entire section to unravel. But the thickness and to some extent the durability of the lace also depends on the amount of thread used. Electric machine lace often uses less thread because electric machines can cover an area more efficiently while using less thread, but of course they could specify a higher thread usage per area if they wanted to.

Trimming may be the most critical step of the entire process. Those beautiful scalloped edges have a tail of fabric extending beyond the krawang when they finish the krawang process. This fabric is trimmed away with tiny and very sharp scissors; a thread-width too close will nick the krawang, but too far away will leave an unattractive fringe of loose threads. Look at krawang from other companies if you want to see the difference, you will probably see a long loose fringe, especially at the corners of the scallops, because they are afraid to trim too close where they might damage the krawang. Now look at Uluwatu. Watching the trimming process can be just as nerve wracking as watching the krawang process once you know what to look for.

Most rayon garments should be dry-cleaned, but some types of fabric and garment construction are such that they can be hand or machine washed. For washable items, use the following as a guide: * Use mild lukewarm or cool suds. Gently squeeze suds through the fabric and rinse in lukewarm water. Do not wring or twist the article. * Smooth or shake out the article and place on a non-rust hanger to dry. Rayon sweaters should be laid flat to dry. * Press the article while damp on the wrong side with the iron at a moderate setting. If finishing on the right side is required, a press cloth should be used. * Between wearings, rayon articles may be pressed with a cool iron.

Wash linen textiles in plenty of water separate from other laundry. Wash in 40°C using a gentle cycle. Do not spin or tumble-dry linen. Reshape whilst damp. Line dry in room temperature, since linen should not be dried too fast. If a linen textile is completely dry, it should be dampened before ironing. Roll a dampened textile into a plastic bag for several hours so that the moisture seeps in the fibre evenly. Iron or mangle the textile in the direction of the warp. 100% linen shrinks c. 7%.

Hindu saint recognised this spot 700 years ago as a particularly powerful site for a temple, and standing there today one is struck with awe at the beauty and power of creation. The sliver of rock that holds the temple seems so narrow, almost insignificant against the vastness of sea and sky. The entire cliff shudders with the impact of the waves, while monkeys shriek and scamper along walls that drop sheer to the surging foam hundreds of feet below. Across the surface of the sea, after every retreating wave, white foam curls like lace and one can see coral and sometimes sea turtles and dolphins swimming below.

PLEASE SEE OUR OTHER WEBSITE, www.balicoffees.blogspot.com FOR THE FULL RANGE OF DELICIOUS, AROMATIC BALI COFFEES. Kopi Luwak for Coffee Conoisseurs. The world’s most expensive coffee, Kopi Luwak, comes from Sumatra and Bali and sells for $100 US per pound. Plantation workers have the unenviable MORNING task of collecting the crop—found in the droppings of a particularly fussy civet cat that eats only the choicest coffee cherries.

KOPI LUWAK--CIVET COFFEE

RAREST, MOST EXCLUSIVE COFFEE IN THE WORLD. TEMEN VILLAGE, TAMPAKISIRING, AMERTHA YOGA AND BAS AGRO DEMONSTRATION FARMS. Kopi Luwak (civet cat). Civet Coffee. Costs $600 a pound, and only one pound produced a year. This is considered the best coffee in the world. The civet cat consumes red coffee cherries: the bean then passes through the digestive tract and remains sealed. It goes through a chemical change. The gastric juices extract the proteins and make it less bitter. This “four-footed coffee filter” eventually eliminates the red coffee cherries: workers have to find and sift through the morning poo on the forest floor to find the “organically processed” cherries. PHOTO OF THE KING OF COFFEE--A LIVE CIVET IN TEMEN VILLAGE, TAMPAKISIRING, AMERTHA YOGA DEMONSTRATION FARM. Kopi Luwak. An Indonesian island coffee treasure—taste the rarest beverage in the world. Kopi Luwak, or civet coffee, is coffee made from coffee cherries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). After collected, the beans are processed hygienically, and given only a medium roast so as not to destroy the complex flavors that develop through the process. This Kopi Luwak process takes place only on the islands of Bali, Sumatra, and Sulawesi in the Indonesian archipelago. Only 300kg per year is produced to be distributed throughout the world.
