JOTO DESIGNS

We will continue to upload images of our products - new and old - recycled - antique - stylish or unusual. If you are living in the Jakarta area (we are in Sarua Indah, Ciputat) then this may be one source for interesting and sometimes unique arts & crafts, with which to decorate your home. We will also add photos of our collection of framed LP/Albums (Beatles/Stones/Led Zep and lots more...).

FRAMING: Oh, and we have a great framing service, so if you want something framed, just give us a shout and we'll get it done for you - fast, efficient and at a fair price. Big orders desired. Phone: 081908238400 (John)

CREATIVITY

JOTO Designs gets it's name from my name (John Torr). Not very original, but then I eventually found out that the Japanese word 'joto' actually means 'good' as in creative - so I kept it! As for John Torr (my middle name is Christian), I will leave that alone, except to say that Indonesians often laugh when hearing my name.
Vinyl Obsessions is all about vinyl records - nothing unique there, except that I don't sell 'em to play 'em - I sell 'em to put on the wall (NOSTALGIA). I mean, if you're like me then you won't have a record player and probably haven't even seen one for the past 20 years (or so). Actually I have one now (Christmas present) and I sometimes record the records onto CD, when the chance presents itself (which isn't often). The list is long (about 1000), so there's plenty to choose from.

Check it out.

About JOTO DESIGNS

JOTO DESIGNS makes and sells interesting arts & crafts from Indonesia. We make mirrors and lamps from recycled antique wood carving (mostly teak) and wood furniture pieces. We also supply paper and rattan lamps from Tiang Jaler, Framed original LP records (Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Beatles, Waldjinah, Gamelan and many more), LP bags, Single 45rpm bags and other products. We intend to build our products up to the point that this page becomes really worth looking at. This is just the beginning.....

LPs and Singles

If you are an avid collector of LPs or Single 45's, then contact us if you're interested in finding an album (framed or unframed) and we may have it in our collection - or if you have a collection you would like to sell, we may very well be interested in buying some or all. You can contact me directly on my HP: 081908238400 or email me: jctorr_2000@yahoo.com

If you have any interesting arts & crafts you would like to sell, such as paintings, drawings or indonesian crafts, please let me know and we can either link up or I can post your work on www.jotodesigns.blogspot.com

TED

A friend of mine (Rob) put me onto this webpage and I've been into it ever since. The last presentation I watched was about puppets and how a two men (boyfriends?) had produced a full size puppet horse for a stage play. They came on stage with a puppet hyena, which was pretty convincing. Disbelief was effectively suspended and the puppet seemed alive and real. It stared briefly at the audience and then it's tail swished in comic friendliness, as if it was a domestic pet rather than a wild animal. In effect, the hyena became approachable and almost loveable, even though it looked ragged and suitably ugly.

The horse was even more intriguing. I was a fascinating presentation and just one of many that can be seen on this page. Ideas worth spreading....... for sure!
