ENTERING Azizah Abdul Aziz’s home in Taman Tun Dr Ismail in Kuala Lumpur is a very pleasant experience. Hanging pots of greenery and the soothing sound of a small fountain greet the visitor who comes to see this talented handicraft designer and maker in her small, unobtrusive workshop cum showroom where the products of her trade are displayed.
What started out as a hobby has now turned into an income-earning enterprise for Azizah, or Kak Zah as she is better known, whose deft skill at making customised handicrafts, especially the wedding trays (hantaran) for Malay weddings, has caught the attention of many customers.
