photo collage

today, i worked on a this simple foto collage (yeps--click that site for their easy to follow app) for the day's blog entry and i will use this to to promote and let everyone else know that----some of my "OOAK" pretties (one-of-a-kind) will be available in this shop, henceforth

MOON LEAF TEA SHOP paseo de sta. rosa, philippines

drop by and enjoy!

 

spring summer 2013 (orchid blooms) textile art pins

inspirations from just about anywhere, anything, that---stirs your heart and mind ;D

(snatch up these last remaining bunch of orchids of satin, and synthetic cloth from a fave supply shop because i'm meaning to transform them into  'artpins 0' orchids'--so you'll prance around in them wherever!)
enjoy!

 all hand-made, pieced, sewn. the very essence of--hand-made art.

(often when working on some new batch of works/collection, i am confused and always seeming to find the balance between: art/aesthetics vs. production/speed; sublimity vs. profit and the problem of pricing ;(.  

one thing th0'--i'm almost always apt to effacing the machine-made look finish.

clearly--hand-made-ism ;D.

 i have ranted and whined about the hand-stamped made by the rubber stamp maker somewhere in manila, and finally found a way in sprucing about the look of my label--just so because i am maximizing yet the use of this hand-stamp.

 ready. enjoy!

i screams!

i'm almost done wih the ice screams, popsies art pin collections. they will all be sold at a bubble tea shop somewhere out here--close to where i;m planted ;D.

i'm fixing few more things so i'll be opening my etsy online shop again! ;D--s000nish.

and then, i have recently created few more wrist cuffs. some have statement 'words' on them. they are usually measured: L-6.75-7.75 inches, W- from 2-3.5 inches.

i have done them mostly with multiple adjustments. they are hand-washable, just always dry them quickly. they are all hand-made. hand-piece, stitched  with love!  ;D

no, you cant have enough of any of those ;D

(l-r: hand-made wrist cuffs, peanut/egg kisses, iced lemon tea, and tuna chili ;D)

hey! ;D storage system yey!

 i live in a rented space just a stone's throw away from the place where i work. living and having an art/work studio in a place where you know you will not stay long, to keep from building things up, materials + hoards is a challenge to  self-control on impulse hoardings and maintain the goal of avoiding accumulations, and huge problems when moving out--say--anytime soon.

i have no problem with kitchen utensils, pots and cauldrons, tvs, refs, and microwaves and whatever ovens that is... i am so primitive on those areas. i have only with me the basics for cooking to nourish me and my children. ;D. no i don't invite friends nor entertain in my place--save the closest ones in my life. since most of the place i stayed where never meant for entertaining nor receiving guests.

my big, huge, ginormous problem mostly are the build-ups i constantly make on: books, clothing, textiles, small but many many bitsy-itsy theeengs--all for the 'art' i am gaga with these days--'after the noble day job'. and so, stumbling upon this site, and seeing these particularly---i died with joy ;D.

 

 this is exciting! and a so great idea that will solve my big, huge, ginormous problem on storage system that should be: affordable, a DIY, less problem on huge things upon moving out. true to my marginal living, lifestyle---not forgetting 'grace','poise' ;D

----awwww--even sturdy, strong corrugated boxes will do--i think ;D

these will all do for my itsy-bitsy-tineee-thheeengs stored in the many many jars i have amassed

these made my day. and to give credit to where credit is due---here's the  link from where i saw these. go see! enjoy!

new wrist cuff and hand-stitches are all over ;D

its been a while since i made some wrist cuffs. i've made some new ones few days ago and this is the --one of them ;D

i've been wanting to re-open my etsy shop...

months ago...

and i know its all

up to me.

(6.75-7.75 inches wrist cuff made from new and reclaimed materials. with multiple adjustments! dry and or spot clean/hand-wash only. but hey my medium is textile. i love textiles--and as a lover of them all, i also love washing textiles to keep clean and yes always clean. i try my best to keep all my works in hand'washable' condition,lest stated otherwise-dry and or spot clean only. this one however, is washable too--just dry it quickly ;D) enjoy!

to have a marvelous weekend is  all

'up to you' ! ;D

spidey on her web net bag

                       

eco-friendly spidey net bag.hand-made. knotted abaca thin yet sturdy ropes with sipdey on her web and lace embellishment.the net bag has a bit of gold thread weaved all over--so its not just plain black.

i didnt weave the abaca. its bought that way and it is brand new.
to add quirkiness--so it will never be ever so plain, i created miss spidey and her net
and attached them on this eco-friendly net bag.

miss spidey is a brooch by the way.
i created that one. 
made of gauze--quilted 
using fiberfill for the batting--the sides are left frayed---the quilt pocess holds the gauze and the fill altogether good and finally miss spidey's eyes are made of tiny red glass bead--sewn just above her face, with black lace sewn around...
its very a + t + 0 = C. yay!



it is for sale and available here
