"Shadow puppet shows encourage our imagination to focus on traditional values and the ancient stories passed on by our grandmothers at night before we sleep, and our memory of local lullaby."

Wayan Longsong has been featured in LOHAS magazine.

"My name is Wayan Longsog and I was born in Bali on October 13, 1961. I have studied the basics of woodcarving from my father since 1974. After carving Garuda wood statues, I opened my own art shop in 1979.

"The Ramayana and Mahabharata stories, which I've seen performed by puppeteers in shadow puppet shows, inspire me very much. The puppet characters lively portray various human behaviors and games from real life that we can take teachings from. Shadow puppet shows also encourage our imagination to focus on traditional values and the ancient stories passed on by our grandmothers at night before we sleep in childhood times, and our memory of local lullaby.

"My Garuda wood statues, masks, and primitive statues have been acquired by national and international collectors. There are many local young men who eagerly learn woodcarving in my studio and some of them have been successful and have opened their own art shops or studios. They will be our next generation with even better art works. There are ten artists who work with me, creating Garuda woodcarvings and others from local albesia wood (Cassiaw albesia) and oil paints. My wife, my two children, and I give our honorable regards and thanks to Novica for helping and promoting me via the global internet market. May our cooperation create a better future together!"

My wife bought the flying Angel and she is gorgeous. She hangs in the corner of our living room and flies overhead to the amazement of our visitors. What a wonderful piece of art work, professionally done, packaged and shipped. We look forward to seeing more from Wayan so that we may add to our collection. A must to follow for future gifts for those whom you love and admire.

I purchased a green dragon mobile for my nephew's birthday. Because it came so beautifully wrapped, I did not have a chance to see it before presenting it to him. Both my nephew and I were extremely pleased with the dragon, and he and his father are picking out a spot to hang it.

I love the blue mermaid I purchased from you - I used to live in Singapore and miss the Indonesian art available there. I was hoping to find one like I had seen before with a hairbrush and mirror - do you ever make any of those? Anyway, thank you for the beautiful artistry!

I just wanted you to know Granddaddy Dragon can now be found flying in his new home and with his excellent shipping he was perfect. The workmanship on the dragon is amazing (we have both a small one and a big one) and we and all our visitors are struck by his magnificence. I have also framed the delightful comments from the folks in Bali to help all understand what a fantastic company you are and the symbolism behind Granddaddy Dragon. Thank you again...

The Flying Dragon that I ordered arrived a couple of day's ago, and it is an absolutely beautifull piece of art.

As always gift wrapped, this makes it always so special to open the package.

I've been collecting these flying angels for years and constantly am on the look out for different styles and shapes to add to the bunch. I purchased three in colors & styles I'd never seen before, 'Manuk Rawa,' 'Sri Ratu,' & 'Balinese Angel'; all were lovely - and truly unique, two had blue eyes and auburn hair, a first in my experience! The detailing and craftsmanship far & above the few I've been able to find in shops locally. They were packaged with extreme care beautifully and such a treat to receive and open. They now fly high with my other angels and make me smile every day.

I have purchased four 'Flying Angel' mobiles from I Wayan Longsog. One has been hanging in my entranceway for several years and has given joy each time I look at it. The others have been purchased as gifts. The quality of I Wayan's work is amazing. (the gift wrapping alone is a work of art!) Thank you Novica for allowing me to experience the work of this incredibly talented man.

Sharyn,

 

I bought two pieces from this artist, both are incredible.

The beautiful flying dragon hung from the ceiling in my bedroom until late one night I heard pounding on the window under the eaves of the house. There, in the dark, was an enormous blue jay hurling its body at the window. The attack did not stop until I took the dragon down. After nesting season he can go back up and continue to protect me as I sleep.
