Back in September 2014, when me and Miranti were searching for a space to held our painting workshop with Ayang Cempaka. We met Tissa Aunilla, Irvan Helmi and Cindy Herlin of Pipiltin Cocoa. We loved this chocolate cafe and factory because they have a perfect spot for the workshop. And these Pipiltin folks were very friendly too.

Around that time, the idea of collaboration between Pipiltin Cocoa and Ayang was already in the air. They both very enthusiastic about having a creative project together. So, we were so excited to know that the progress of Pipiltin Cocoa x Ayang Cempaka Tabanan Bali Series Bars rolled so fast that this month they already released their special chocolate hampers.

And on this early December, I had a chance to watch (and being a ‘hand’ model. hehe. got to mention this!) the product photo session at Pipiltin Cocoa. It was a collaboration photo shoot of Ayang and Dita Wistarini a.k.a @ditut a.k.a Mamin. It really was fascinating to see how they work together. And it was fun too, because there were friends around.  Martha Puri of Idekuhandmade and Natasha Roesli of Fleuri (who brought beautiful flowers and leaves) came to meet Ayang, because it was Ayang’s last days in Indonesia before she flew back to Dubai. I was so happy to meet these creative ladies. And thank you Puri for the cute pouch! :*

Thank you so much girls and Pipiltin Cocoa for this short but unforgettable afternoon. Happy holiday and hoping to see more creative collaborations next year. ;)
