Where everything is handmade…
Summer is almost over… yes, I know it’s a bummer. Some schools start this Monday, some are extended until August. Either way if you’re looking for something to do or itching to learn a new hobby, you might want to join us here. Davao Workshop (organised by two lovely ladies, Lyn and Lynn), have a 1-day …
Home sweet home after almost a month of being away. I must say, I fully maximised summer this year. Had my few shares of the beach and to cap it off, spent a two-week vacation with the family. I just got home the other day and I think I’m still experiencing jet lag. I slept at …
Admittedly, I’m a very lousy blogger since this year started (It’s been years, who am I kidding?). To be honest though, I quite miss it. I’m not really a writer yet somehow writing has been part of my creative process. I like writing on my journals and I blog what I do, thinking someone might be inspired as …
I’ve been writing letters since I was young and every time I received one, it makes me feel really happy and special. I learned it from my Ninang Lisa who lives in the States. She would send me cards during my birthday or just because and I’d do the same thing to her. Since then, I …
I’ve been a lousy blogger lately. Pretty sure you’re not surprise about that. My laptop is still under repair so it’s hard to work without all my files. Buying a new one is not even an option. Well, simply because I cannot afford it. So, I need to extend more patience and dealing with whatever tool I …
I know some of you have been seeing a lot about calligraphy on your feed. Either from the people you follow for inspiration or from your friends. I’ve been asked a lot about a workshop for this, but I was a bit hesitant because I’m not sure if I’ll be able to translate what I’ve learned into words. …
I’m so excited to share with you my first craft gig this year. It’s Color and Calligraphy Fair with National Bookstore. This is so exciting because I’ve been drooling over their photos on instagram: @iam_artisan when they had this in Manila and Cebu. And now their doing it in Davao, woohoo! The fair is about showcasing …
Hello friends! Yay! For 2017! So far, how’s this year treating you? My few days were already quite busy and productive. I had few unlucky events but there’s also better things beyond that. Like they say, you can only control how you react or think. So, I’m looking at it different, see it as a learning. …
One thing I like about christmas season is the gift wrapping part. I had few blog posts about gift wrapping in different ways. My fascination to it lead me in designing my own gift wrapper. I guess, gift giving is a simple way of making someone happy. The excitement of opening a gift reminds us of …
I have a thing with phone cases since I had my very first iPhone. I used to buy Cath Kidston and other cute designs and change it every two months. Then just last year when I visited my sister in Vancouver, I saw a plain transparent and black iPhone 6 case. I suddenly imagine painting on it or …
The week was kinda not on my side. Either the universe was telling me to slow down or it was just a bad week for me. First, I got a flu last weekend. Second, I spilled coffee on my laptop and it needed some repair. Lastly, I am sick again with some stomach flu. I feel …
Things were running smoothly lately even though I was pressing time in juggling work, social life and exercise all the same every week. Up until yesterday when I was having my usual morning routine… Set up my workspace, ordered coffee from Yellow Hauz, multi-tasking on my laptop (designing, browsing, answering emails, downloading, etc.) while drinking coffee… …
I’ve been in the business for 7 years now and ever since I’ve been meaning to create a catalogue of my designs. Specifically, holiday gift guide. But then of course, deadlines, procrastinating and then some got along the way. This time though, I’ve push myself to finally do it (still unprepared and panicked to the highest …
If you haven’t heard yet, Instax launched their second Instax Share, called SP-2. And if you’re not quite familiar what Instax Share is, let me give you a little glimpse of what it is… If you enjoy the charm of Instax camera, not only because of the candy like colours or the vintage models, but also because it gives you …
The week was surprisingly a manageably hectic kind of week. I finished few projects. I was able to exercise 3 times. Manage to paint a little. Attended few events. A little hair pampering and then some. I’m very much active on Instagram: @iam_artisan. If you’re into anything artsy fartsy, design, crafting and coffee, let’s meet there. And …
