I worked with Hey Kessy Pottery to create my ceramic jewelry collection for Hey Kessy Jewelry. Check out the progress photos.
I draw, paint, letter, and everything in between. Here are my attempts at art!

Handwritten Fonts: How I Make Mine
I still keep a planner where I write my schedule in—although I admit that I sometimes log in the details after the fact. I keep a journal where I write down my intentions every month or so. Even with most of my life online, I still always keep a pen and paper on me. So it’s no surprise how I’m…

Trying Slab Pottery at The Crescent Moon Cafe and Studio Pottery
The first time I tried Slab Pottery (I keep typing poetry instead of pottery, haha) was a couple of years ago in preparation for Craft Camp Antipolo. We were there for an ocular visit and decided to make some pieces so we could pick them up in a couple of weeks’ time. We each had a kilo of clay to…

What’s Inside My Tiny Notebooks?
I try to keep a small notebook with me whenever I’m traveling. I also bring along a tiny water brush, a small collection of Micron pens, and my watercolor palette of choice (usually a portable Winsor & Newton Cotman Water Colours Sketchers’ Pocket Box that I got from one of Alessa‘s workshops). I also love taking photos (either with my…

What’s in my bag: 09.22.2016
I can never really carry a small bag long enough. I always think I’m going to need something so I tend to overpack my everyday bag with more than just essentials. LOL. So you can imagine how heavy my tote gets. I bought myself this Carrie City from Aranaz Tu as a “reward” for a book project last year. Used…

Weave Got It Going On
I spent the entire weekend home, catching up on TV shows and practicing my brush lettering (as evidenced by another “new” layout in less than a month, haha). My best friend asked me to come up with a design for her tattoo and I’ve been having fun drafting different designs in between sleeping and eating all morning. 😛 Last week,…

What Were We Doing Before Pinterest?
I’ve always loved saving photos of things I find online and want to look at again. Sometimes it’s just one photo so I hardly think a bookmark is necessary. So the idea of having a virtual cork board where I could pin stuff was appealing to me. And that’s exactly what Pinterest is all about—a visual bookmarking tool that allows…

What’s Your Type?
I’ve been home for four days and except for the dreadful heat, I’m actually enjoying all this free time. Since it’s just me and the boys at home, we’ve been rotating household chores. Strangely enough, I think I’m getting the hang of washing dishes. Haha! I’ve been binge-watching different series and catching up on ones I haven’t seen yet. My…

A Craft Gathering
I met Mansy at Alessa‘s craft soiree two years ago. She was already running her online store Hey Kessy for maybe about a year then. Fast forward to today, her online store has its brick-and-mortar version along E. Abada in Katipunan. She gave me and Mikko a sneak peek a few weeks ago and I already knew how amazing it…

In My Words
Same but different
There are billions of people in the world and no two are the same. Isn’t that amazing? You are made from the same cloth: flesh, skin, bone, but you couldn’t be more different from each other. And every day, you meet people who challenge you, make you think, keep you on your toes, and sometimes, inspire you to become an…
