BINTULU: In the spacious verandah of a modern longhouse in Bukit Bethany here, a group of women could be seen focusing intently on their beaded embroidery works, one of the traditional crafts of the Iban community residing in the Bintulu area. The smaller the beads, the more intricate the process of creating the exquisite beadworks for which Sarawak is famous.
