Crafter Tantiyana Sutan Shahril, 46, is drawn to some of the unlikeliest treasures: nuts, bolts and washers. Visiting a hardware shop isn't about fixing things for her; it's an opportunity to discover new materials for her textured abstract artwork.

"I'm always excited to stumble upon items like these," Tantiyana said during a phone interview. "They add a unique texture and dimension to my creations, turning them into something extraordinary."
