Where everything is handmade…
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 …
I normally design party suite for birthdays and weddings. But most of it were based on modern and vintage designs. So when I got an email from Aya, one of the founders of Katha Magazine, that she wanted me to do a DIY party with filipino theme for the magazine, I was happy to take it. It was …
There was a time when I just drool over my instagram feed every time I see craft workshops in Manila. I see calligraphy, rubberstamp, papercut and pressed flower workshops and I can’t help but wish I was there. But this month, we’re bringing you all this craft workshops here in Davao. Yes! You read that right… and …
One thing about crafters is, we love wrapping gifts. There’s a thrill when you can play with your creativity by using different materials. From kraft paper, ribbons and laces, trinkets, pressed flowers and pretty gift wrappers. And that’s why I wanted to design my own gift wrappers, and finally here it is. I wanted to make 3 sets with …
I have totally neglected my blog again… it’s been crazy in the studio. Papers everywhere, meeting with clients, deadlines that never ends and finalizing the prints. I think I smelled like toner already. On top of this, I have 3 upcoming events next month that need to be prepared. My mind is so cluttered and …
Nothing much happened to me this week. I haven’t been working with my personal projects… just meeting deadlines. And yes, sooner or later I’ll be on a panic mode already. This month we’re celebrating two birthdays in the family. First, my papa then my ever dear kambal little sister, Sandy. {1} I’m pampered with flowers …
Character themes are not my forte. That’s because I don’t really know how to draw them. So I try to look for something else that’s related to that character instead. Once in awhile I have clients who wanted characters for their themes. Like one mom wanted a Rapunzel theme invitation for her little girl’s 7th …
It’s been awhile since I had my last DIY. And since I’ve done some organizing in my room, I’ve thought of sharing some DIY Shoebox Organizer I did for my rubber stamps. Yes, it seems that I have this thing with dressing up some boxes. But let’s face it, they can be very helpful as organizers. …
Another time of the year where Oh Hello Friend conducted Lovely Package Exchange. I always enjoy her package exchange not only because of getting nicely wrap gifts and goodies but the swap partners are from your same country so you get to meet crafter friends in your . Like last year, my partner was Patchi and she’s …
Last 2 weeks ago, I celebrated my birthday and I prepared some lovely and simple souvenirs so my friends can take home with them. I’m always a fond of repacking things, so what I did was I repacked some tea and cookie and made it more customized. Here are the things you’ll need: • Tea …
Let’s start of this year with a simple DIY to compensate my absence. Tomorrow I’ll be leaving for Manila together with the Green Tomato team to join a bridal fair in SMX. It’s our very first time to participate in fair outside my turf, and I’m quite anxious actually. In preparation for the bridal fair, I will …
I had a privilege to design a logo for a friend, Ikei… and since this friend of mine is a business woman, I designed not only one but two logos for her. So my frustration for Illustration will be challenged again… but on the hand, these logos turned out to be one of my faves …
As I’ve said from my post about Wedding Motif, you can go away with wedding themes. Whenever I asked my bride clients what’s their wedding theme, some would normally say they don’t have one. Even I wouldn’t probably have one either. However, this can definitely add some drama to your special day. Even so, choosing your wedding theme is not easy. …
