Where everything is handmade…
I just love crafting. I have met new friends and bonded over crafts and this made it more fun.
If there’s one thing I like apart from crafting and painting, it’s curating a kit. This is my favourite part whenever I have workshops. I really enjoy curating anything for crafting or painting. And I’m so happy some of my friends and people who knows me entrusted me to curate kits for them. Last month, …
Hello, hello there! First, don’t mind the title on the video, I mixed up the numbering in my studio vlogs. This is really no.12. Second, if you haven’t seen it yet, I’ve already posted this on my YouTube channel: April San Pedro. But let me share more about this here… Last January 25, 2020, Sharmane …
Just like that… 2 years had past… Either I blog really slow (yes, that’s 1 part true) or time really flies so fast (which is also the other part true). Anyway, back when I was younger, I wanted to be a painter (I shared that journey when I took the Art Kamp). When I finally …
Something I like about social media is they show you what you’ve posted on the same date years ago. Although, I am recently and subconsciously inactive or on a semi-social media break. But this reminded me how I enjoyed posting before. Yesterday, Instagram reminded me of the craft party I hosted 2 years ago for …
Last year, Daniel Smith released their very first half pan sets. I’ve seen reviews from Youtube already so imagine how excited I am when Ethel of DE’s Artroom mentioned that they’re bringing it in the Philippines too. And the exciting part was… they’ll do a tour from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao for the launch. Usually, …
November is quite special to me when it comes to creativity. Because this is when I started painting again after 6 months. All thanks to the Watercolor Art On The Road event that sparked my fire again. I was looking forward to that weekend. For one, my sister, nephew and Mama all left for Vancouver, days …
Hello you lovelies! My body has been sleeping since July started. I seriously don’t understand. But I’m really trying my best to wake it up the soonest. Because… I’ll be having a workshop in Manila! Yep! It’s been a while. I had my first one last 2014. It was Paper Flower Workshop at Hey Kessy. …
Last summer, I had a workshop for kids which they made their own photo banners such as these. I did this with Instax before during the Instax and Crafts 2016 event as I was one of their craft ambassadors. Before the workshop started, I like making simple activity for them by making their name tags into a …
Two years ago, I had my very first brush lettering gig. I was still in Vancouver during the Christmas holiday then, when I got an email from Coffee Bean that they’ll be having their yearly Giving Journal activity in their SM Lanang branch and that they are looking for someone who can do a workshop for them …
Hello loves. Lately, I’m trying to get my groove back. I’m quite tired and uneasy for the past few days. I’m not sure if it’s a girl thing (you know, women’s cycle) or I’m just simply tired, lol. Anyway, I’m preparing a workshop for CBTL‘s Annual Back to School Project. It’s such an honour to …
It’s been a week since I posted about the Watercolor Stationery Workshop. I’m quite thrilled to get really good feedback. Since, it’s my first batch, I just offered limited slots so I can manage everyone. And so far, half of it is already filled. Weee! It’s making me really excited and nervous at the same …
Hello friend. I think I haven’t mentioned it here yet but Artisan Paperie is temporary closed because we are undergoing a major renovation. (I’ll talk about this some other time). And since the shop is closed, I have more time to concentrate in doing craft workshops. I’ve had Photo Banner, Dreamcatcher in Siargao then Dreamcatcher in Davao (which I’ll …
I was supposed to do this at the beginning of the month yet here we are at the very last day of it. But hey, it is still April, right? Lol. After few workshops, a lot of birthday celebrants and one week at the beach… I can now sit down and write about this. So, …
It’s officially summer!!! My favourite time of the year. Yep! Though, I’m not fond of the scorching heat, I really get excited every summer. Not to mention it’s my birthday month. Anyway, when I was still a kid, it was during summer when my creativity was truly honed. I get to play with my sister …
What’s your greatest fear? Mine is public speaking. Statistic says public speaking is one of the greatest fears. Where 74% suffer from performance anxiety. And I’m one of those 74%. When I was in college, I really wanted to conquer that. So I joined Toastmasters. It gave me butterflies in my stomach the whole day …
