No doubt that the late Pak Shafie was one of the best traditional kite maker during his time but there are many more before and after him. Traditional kite making is alive in Malaysia. Well, at least I am. The kite pictured above is mine, probably taken from my waukite.blogspot. In Malaysia there is a National Kite Council. There are few major International Kite Competitions and Festivals namely Pasir Gudang International Kite Festival, Kelantan International Kite Festival, Bintulu International Kite Festival organized annually. Traditional kites are competed during these festivals.Wau Kitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590474944950591693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7488090118671289297.post-27360282600801233962017-12-15T05:23:30.028-08:002017-12-15T05:23:30.028-08:00I cannot believe how much work and detail you put ...I cannot believe how much work and detail you put into your cookies!

It is sad that it is basically a lost art and that no one wants to step up in his shoes so to speak to make kites nowadays. You wonder how special that last kite he makes will be.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
