Ichikraft Lotus Flower - Photographed by Acik Mardhiyanti / Acik Mdy

What do you think about this design? Well, the Lotus flower is our old design. But a customer asked me to recreate it and I accepted it. Of course with a little update, it means a little different from the old on. If you want to know how I create it then I would like to show behind the scene. Or if you want to get it, you can visit my Etsy shop and see another design. Here is the link https://www.etsy.com/shop/ichikraft One thing that you have to remember, Ichikraft products aren't mass production. Let's rock!
