I tried wood seal carving!

  Hold on to your space seats, because the story time U.F.O. is back at it again, zapping fresh stories straight from the mothership into your inbox! 🛸 If you’ve been following my blog or my ShachemLieuw YouTube channel for a while, you probably already know I’ve been deep-diving into learning Mandarin and exploring more about my Chinese heritage. Well, my latest mission involved signing up for a wood seal carving class, and I liked it so much that I’ve officially decided to purchase a wood seal carving kit and turn this into a permanent hobby! 🧰✍️ Fun plot twist: we didn't actually work with real wood. We got to practice on erasers! But it was still super fun learning all the traditional carving techniques. (For those wondering, the Chinese carving knife used for this is called an intou or bidao —often referred to as an iron pen or a graver!)

 Loyd Kwasiba: From Chef To Spoken Word Artist & Author

"Loyd Kwasiba"



Hello, Story Time friends! Welcome to a new episode in tropical Suriname! In this episode, we'll talk to my good friend Loyd Kwasiba. From our previous Story Time interview with him, we know that Loyd is a passionate chef and spoken word artist. He began his craft in the kitchen and quickly expanded to the stages of spoken word events hosted in Suriname. This time, Loyd is starting a new journey! He's been quite busy since the last time he was in one of my Story Time Production episodes. Soon he'll be launching his new Dutch book. It's a bundle of quotes and citations Loyd created. The book is titled " Mijn Intuïtie Spreekt.". In English, the title translates to "My Intuition Is Speaking." This is a powerful title for a short bundle that's bound to pique the reader's curiosity. This time, I did a video interview with Loyd. It was a struggle to conduct this interview, as I'm still getting used to my Nikon D3300. With my Ultra S23 stolen, I had no choice but to return to the old way of creating content. Now I realize how lazy that excellent 200 MP Samsung camera made me! 😓😭😭But somehow with a lot of patience, Loyd and I managed to present you this Story Time episode. I hope you enjoy this video interview and stay tuned for more adventures in tropical Suriname. Do you desire to venture into the unknown world?
