Saya suka bermain suling

"I love to play suling."

Suling is the Indonesian "flute" of their gamelan orchestras--and an instrument that I majored on in my MFA (grad school) studies. I still perform with a gamelan occasionally--mainly Balinese, but there are several types of Suling--in both Java and Bali--and no two are tuned alike.

This piece was drawn from a photo that Xetsa took of me in my balinese performance outfit as I played suling and was created by Abanob as part of a very successful Iron Artist challenge.

Thank you, Abanob, for capturing the beauty and emotion that I feel whenever I touch my suling.
Thank you, Xetsa, for capturing the photo that was used to create one of my favorite pieces of art as Xale that has ever been done.
