last weekend was quite exhausting but enjoyable, as we had a long weekend in celebration of Bonifacio Day. i took advantage of the holiday to do some crafting and learn how to screen print.
i joined Hey Kessy'sMerry Mail Swap and i'm excited to make my swap partner Christmasy things! no photos yet so as not to spoil the fun!

applying some photo emulsion chemicals
though during the process, i got a little bit turned off because of the amount of chemicals to be used.
fun with squeegee!

sorry for the lack of posts, i've been very busy with my day job lately. as promised, here are some of my discoveries on instagram, and i'm totally in love with their works.
Instagram has been a source of inspiration for me in many ways. From art, fashion to food and travel and super cute animals (let's not forget about that!), i keep on discovering more and more amazing things and people. I have also been posting most of my artworks there since i find it more convenient. Indeed, it has changed the way we share our lives and craft tp the world.
Watch out for my next post on my favorite artists on instagram.
