My home town is Ipoh, which is in Perak, Malaysia and it is stuffed to the gills with talented beaders..wish I could have bought more examples of their work to share with you guys, only 2 pics of beautiful local work which got my mouth watering this time, I'll update this as and when I find more 
Made by the local beadshop girl...this is so cute and I love that the necklace portion is plaited?!!
 
Mancini necklace
IMO is an amazing example of stringing + some beading, its so imaginative. Made by local Ipoh artist!

Jade nuggets
Assorted facet rounds in clear quartz, onyx, smoky quartz, rose quartz

They're both beautiful...love the turquoise colour of the first one, but I have to say my favourite is the second one - I love how there's such a mixture of different bead shapes yet everything seems to fit so well together. |

Those are great examples of beadwork. I have been to Malaysia several times and love it! The shell I used in my beaded shell necklace came from Malaysia, and I have nearly finished the beaded shell necklace mark 2, with another Malaysian shell.
