Once upon a time in a land far, far away, there were a beautiful bunch of Bougainvillea flowers. Their colourful petals brightly contrasted against the sky day after day…The seasons passed by and the beautiful petals eventually shrivelled and lost their hue. Meanwhile, there lived a skilled artisan from the foothills of Siam who mastered the art of preserving the unadorned beauty of the petals and used them to dress up the natural bark spine of a handmade cover and the Bougainvillea petals lived prettily ever after.
