This was followed by the development of plush dolls, inspired by my daughter&#8217;s imaginative drawings.<\/p>\n<p>As I delved deeper into these projects, I discovered my passion for combining various techniques such as crochet and sewing, and I loved enhancing my creations with unique embellishments like plastic pearls, tassels, pom-poms, and lace. These additions brought a rich, intricate detail to each piece.<\/p>\n<p>In 2013, armed with growing confidence and a portfolio of unique designs, I took the leap and opened an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/jp\/shop\/riaparamita\">online shop on Etsy<\/a>. Initially, I was fraught with nerves, but soon, the joy of crafting and connecting with customers through my work took over.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most rewarding aspects of this journey has been accepting custom requests and listening to my customers&#8217; stories. This interaction has not only enriched the uniqueness of each product but also opened my eyes to creative possibilities I had never imagined before.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1417&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>The Future<\/h3>\n<p>My passion for embroidery has blossomed in exciting new directions. From designing digital patterns and forging brand partnerships to launching a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@TheHidayats\">YouTube channel<\/a>, my embroidery adventure continues to evolve. I also delight in teaching workshops, offering a creative outlet for women and mothers eager to embark on their own embroidery journeys.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, I&#8217;ve taken a significant step in my professional development by enrolling in an embroidery qualification course at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voguegakuen.com\/school.php?f_school_id=1\">Vogue Gakuen School<\/a> in Tokyo. This experience is not only enhancing my skills but also deepening my appreciation for this intricate art form.<\/p>\n<p>As for what the future holds, it&#8217;s a mystery, but one thing is certain: embroidery, my enduring love, will always be a part of my journey. No matter where life takes me, I&#8217;ll continue to embrace and share the joy of embroidery.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1600448328206{padding-right: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1303&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_text_separator title=&#8221;Ria Paramita&#8221; subtitle=&#8221;Embroidery Artist&#8221;][vc_column_text] &nbsp; For email click here[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The Beginning The love of embroidery began when my family and I moved to Japan in 2012.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;1811&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The language barrier, cultural differences, and living far away from family and friends in a new country had eventually taken its toll, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-120","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/riaparamita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/riaparamita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/riaparamita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riaparamita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/riaparamita.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=120"}],"version-history":[{"count":61,"href":"https:\/\/riaparamita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/120\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1812,"href":"https:\/\/riaparamita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/120\/revisions\/1812"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/riaparamita.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
