I'm happy to be part of this year's round of Elle Luna's #the100dayproject! It's my third time to play along and even if my last project took three times longer to complete (ikr?!?), I am not discouraged. Why, you say? It's because embarking on a daily creative activity like this one has done me so much good. #The100DayProject has allowed me to explore my artistry; challenged me to be creative with the time and materials available to me however limited; and let me discover and be inspired by many other artists and makers participating in the same project. Not only that, I also get to make Read More
Growing In Love and In Art…
Kayo and I first met when we were about twelve years old and from that very first day, we had already been making art together. We were both part of a childrens ministry group back then and were assigned to paint a backdrop for a church event.

Here's what panned out the last four weeks and why we are full of gratitude and hope… NY at LU Before hitting the "hustle button" this 2017, our family decided to welcome the new year at surf town. It was our first time to spend new year's there and I was really glad we did. I found quiet moments to just sit, reflect on life and dream for the Read More
Tayo Na Sa Antipolo!
Craft Camp's main mission is to nurture the creative spirit and to do so out of one's regular routine, away from the busyness of the city. If, as organizers, our daily routines already heavily include crafts, you could say we have an insatiable desire for it. And we wish to infect others with it. So the five of us — Alessa Lanot, Mikko Sumulong, Mansy Abesamis, Macy Alcaraz and I have set out again to put together another makers camp. This time, it was a one-day getaway to Antipolo, Rizal, which we ran for two consecutive days. Participants chose to join either the 12th, Saturday, or the 13th, Read More
