Where everything is handmade…
I wasn’t really able to write about my planner, Blangko. Maybe because, I always prep it the last minute during holiday season. Just like now, Christmas is over, few more days before New Year and everyone is almost done with their gift giving. And most probably, everyone who’s into planners already bought their own weeks …
I am very fond of gift wrapping. Pretty sure, you’ve noticed that already. Another thing I’m fond of is up-cycling old or scrap materials into something else. Now, I recently did a calligraphy on envelopes and I had few envelopes that were misspelled or the ink scattered. Thought, I’d use some part of it into something …
Yes my friends… it’s that time again. Time to wrap those gifts. And yes, I’m quite late with my Christmas preparation this year. On the contrary, I am not rushing any orders, except for the Artisan Paperie’s planner, Blangko. Other than that, only laziness is my excuse. If you’ve been following along, you’ve probably noticed …
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 …
If you’ve been to Disneyland, did you ever remember the feeling of being a child again and that you’re in the happiest place on earth? The moment I knew about Big Bad Wolf Book Sale few weeks ago, I cannot contain my emotions. I felt like a kid going to Disneyland. Here’s a fun fact, I …
It’s been months!!! Almost half a year now, I believe. That I haven’t touched my watercolor materials. It’s embarrassing and sad actually. So when I found out that Philippine Guild of Watercolorists / International Watercolor Society Philippines (IWS), which I’m a member of (yihee!) will have an exhibition here in Davao, I got really excited. …
Hello lovelies! Here’s another watercolor painting process. The flower is called Anemone. I like this flower, although I haven’t seen a real one but the first time I encountered this flower was from my Paper Flower workshop. While I was learning what flowers to teach, I came across Anemone. Since then, I started to like …
Okay… I’m quite embarrassed about this but I’d rather be honest with you friends than make you believe I was really that good (I wish I am). If you remember few months back. Last July, to be exact (Wow! That’s more than 2 months ago now!) I started a 30-day Watercolor Challenge for myself. Unfortunately, …
Do you like joining monthly art challenges? Like, weekly, 30-day, 100-day or even a 1-year challenge. If you’re one of those who can truly commit to this, I salute you. That’s really brave of you. Because I seriously cannot commit to that. I tried, I really did. Remember 365 Doodle Project? I think I lasted …
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. …
If you’ve been following around, I’ve been posting about my painting process as I was (and still am, actually) doing a 30-day watercolor challenge for myself and I’m using a book as my reference. If you want to follow along or do the same thing, I’ve listed below the materials I used for the watercolour …
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 …
Hi lovelies! This month started out of rhythm. It’s the 3rd day of July now yet, I still cannot find my grove. I hope the second half of the year is treating you differently. In the meantime, I posted a new video painting process on my YouTube channel. To be honest, I didn’t expect this …
Where did June go? Seriously? I’m cramming like crazy in catching up with my 30-day Watercolour Challenge. Sometimes, I ask myself why I’m doing this again? LOL. Then my inner self will remind me that this is pushing me to become better in my skill. True enough. It’s easier for me to understand the value …
If you’ve seen my previous post, I’m doing a 30-day watercolor challenge for myself. I’m using the book Watercolor Flower Artist’s Bible by Clare Waite Brown as my reference; Daniel Smith Fine Watercolours and Escoda Brush. Nothing fancy or big canvasses. Just simply to hone my watercolour skill in painting flowers. I’m doing batches of 3 flowers …
