"I wanted to be a professor in the university or in high school and repay my obligation to my home."
"My name is Banlue Lueruang. I come from a family of farmers, but my parents changed their professions when I went to school to learn how to be a merchant. They opened up a small shop, which allowed them to feed us and keep us growing. I studied and graduated from primary school and high school near my hometown. My home province is one of the calmest of the north; I love its nature and scenery. But a change in my life had to come about, as I decided to continue my studies at the university in the Industrial Chemistry department of the science faculty. My grades were very good and I didn't even dream about handicrafts at that time. I wanted to be a professor in the university or in high school and repay my obligation to my home. I think that only those who graduate can raise this country to be healthier.
"However, life cannot be predicted and when I graduated I had to join the army for about a year. Afterwards I applied to become a professor, but the faculty couldn't receive any more professors. But I didn't despair too much. I knew I was going to find a job, and I wanted to learn more. The opportunity arrived when my friend invited me to sell cloth and candles at the market. He is very good at this business and I got to understand the market from this job. Unfortunately, my friend got a new office job and decided to work there. This venture had to end, but I already had something else in mind. Time passed and I began studying job training for the unemployed. During a ceramic course, I met the manager of a ceramic workshop. She invited me to her workshop and I agreed to work with her immediately. But later I had to change my mind again, as I didn't want to be a man working on a salary forever. I decided to leave and start my own workshop. It's hard work but I am very proud.
"I came across Novica when I was recommended by the owner of a workshop, and I have been making cushion covers, along with a host of other decorative textile items - wall hangings, table runners and bedspreads, among others - to sell on the website. My works are carefully made in every detail to achieve the best quality. I line the inside of my cushion covers for stability of form and endurance. The sewing is very good too. You will never see the seams, and I choose only the best cloth. The design is adapted from the ancient style to be modern, and can be used in every occasion."
I just received the "wild jade" cotton scarf, and it is stunning. The green cotton has a slight natural thread that gives it a very multi-dimensional look. It is advertised as more of a summer scarf, but I think that it can be worn most seasons because the green color is not too bright. The scarf is of the highest quality and the styling is unique. You could never find a scarf like this in any store at any price. This scarf would make a wonderful gift.

I bought your Violet Dragonfly Secrets shawl as a Christmas present for a friend. She was amazed by the beautiful quality of the embroidery and the fact that it came beautifully wrapped and she really appreciated and loved the gift.
I would just like to say thank you.

I bought the most magnificently hand-painted scarf from Banlue. When it arrived, I was stunned at the beauty. Banlue is a truly inspired artist.

Dear Banlue:
My wife just loves her “Supreme” silk scarf! It really is supreme, a beautiful work of art—it’s hard to believe that it’s all hand-woven. The color is rich and vibrant and the texture is fine and delicate. You are very talented. Keep making such wonderful things. We in America appreciate your art very much. Elena and Chris

I purchased Cotton Ornaments from Banlue Lueruang. I am very happy with my choice and the quality. The ornaments are beautiful and well made. They are certainly eye catching and make an excellent addition to my holiday ornaments. Thank you Lueruang!

The beaded black shawl I ordered is beautiful. It is exactly what I was looking for. This is my first purchase from Novica and I very impressed with the entire process. The shawl came very quickly and was delightfully packaged. What a nice treat!

The robe I recently ordered is even finer than it appeared in the picture, and it was wrapped so beautifully. Everything about this order--the ease of making it, the prompt verification and receipt, the packaging, and especially the robe itself--exceeded my expectations. Thank you Banlue and Novica. Jennifer

As a repeat customer of Banlue's work, I am so very impressed by the simple elegance and beauty of the shawls he creates. The artistry on each (I have 2) is so magnificent and true to detail. It is obvious that he loves what he does...it shows. Thank you for continuing to bring beauty and joy to your customers.

I just received my Nutmeg Garden shawl, which I am wearing for my wedding in two weeks. I absolutely love it! It is more beautiful than I even imagined. Thank you for your artistic talents.

As lovely as the shawls are in the photographs, they truly do not do justice to the real thing. When we opened up the package, everyone just had to hold it up and admire it. It is truly a work of art.

Beautiful weaving of shimmering silk in varying soft colors makes this a beautiful wallhanging, not a shawl as advertised. I plan to buy more for other uses. Excellence and beauty combined.

I just recieved my scarf. It is totally beautiful. I was going to save it to wear for prayers, but I think I will also wear it everywhere else! :-) Thankyou so much for offering and sharing your art across the miles.....denise
