Where everything is handmade…
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 …
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 …
The last time I wrote about this was few years ago. We turned 3 and 4 then. Now, it’s Artisan Paperie‘s 8th Anniversary. 8 years! I’ve been in the creative business, officially. When I had the courage in opening a design studio and craft shop 8 years ago. Wow! Can you believe that? I’m still having a hard time believing it. Every year, …
I’ve been seriously hooked with Daniel Smith watercolour since the first time it was introduced to me by Jad. I bought my first few colours of when I was in Vancouver and when I got back, I was worried I cannot add more colours to my palette. Luckily, I saw des_artroom carrying Daniel Smith here in the Philippines. …
Tonight, was not a usual Sunday for me. Normally, I spend it doing nothing. Just literally sleep and eat all day. I didn’t get to do that but I like it still because it was a productive day. I joined an indie small press expo called Print Ta. It’s their second year and organised by …
How did your Sunday go? I spent all day at home. I was supposed to do some pampering for myself but I need to finish a design that has watercolour elements. I got a little frustrated because I cannot get exactly what I’m trying to do. Anyway, last week was a mixture of being busy …
Have I mentioned that I turned my studio into a shop now? Perhaps I did and I’m being forgetful again. I searched my own blog, found a post I mentioned my studio, back when I focused more on printing custom design. Other than that, I was referring online and the stationery products. My About Page was more of the invitations and …
I haven’t been as active on instagram as I used to. I’m not quite sure why. I seldom checked it as well. For the past few instagram sundays, I just had enough 4 photos to compile and that’s odd for me. Well, for one, I haven’t been doing any crafts, drawing or painting lately. Which …
Been holding my own workshops for the past few years now. There were times, where I partnered with my sister way back before or with another crafter friend which we called Kids Gone Craft. This time, I thought of collaborating with another artist or crafter friend instead. Unlike before, I also co-teach a different workshop …
Viva pit Senyor! Happy Sinulog friends! Indeed, it’s a happy and festive event like I’ve always heard! Been very curious about this festival ever since but it’s only this year that I get to experience it. Are you also in Cebu right now and experiencing Sinulog? Perhaps, you’re still out celebrating. As for me, I’ll rest early because I’ll …
Hello there! I’m back few weeks ago and I’m already busy preparing for another great project. Oh! The universe is just so good to me. And it’s giving me projects that I’ve been a fan of ever since. First was Instax, and now Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. Yes! I’m doing something exciting for CBTL. First, let’s …
You know when you’re not busy doing your usual projects, great opportunities just keep knocking on your door? I think that’s because this time, I am more open to a lot of possibilities compared before that I was too pre-occupied with business projects than personal ones. If you’ve been reading along, I decided to be on a sabbatical …
If you were able to join us on our very first Instax DIY at Robinson’s Abreeza last month, I shared what I called LampStax. All thanks to Wacky for coming up such a creative name for it. It’s paper lamp with instax photos hanging on it. But if you weren’t there… here’s a step-by-step tutorial on how you can …
I’ve been quiet and been going to places lately. Still having a little hard time finding back my rhythm. My way of getting back to it is indulging myself to different art form. I’ve conquered my fear in painting; tried acrylic for the first time which is very liberating and really fun. Oh, I’ll tell you about that …
