Crochet

Favorite Thing to Make: Everything

Crochet was a yarn craft that I’ve avoided throughout the past years because I just couldn’t read the patterns. My mom does crochet so this time, with full attention, she was able to teach me the basics of crochet.

Later on, I switched to watching youtube videos and I found the written instructions easier than reading the pattern.

My first crochet project was a bucket hat and the latest project that I learned how to make are amigurumi :>

Paintings

Trying to Learn: Oil Painting

I’ve started painting at around 2013, with acrylics, earliest that I can remember. But I only took painting seriously during the start of pandemic 2020, with gouache this time.

I fell in love with painting and it’s definitely one of my top favorite hobbies to do.

Calligraphy

Medium: Brush Pen & Watercolor

Calligraphy was a hype last 2016 and during these times, there were a lot of workshops and yes, I’ve joined them too!

I would do calligraphy almost everyday during 2017-2018 and also started to build up my social media account.

If you’ve scrolled all the way down on my instagram (lol), you would see how I transitioned from a colorful and playful calligraphy style to a more monotone and formal style.

I’ve started a workshop called “Letteringthumbs” with my good friend kim, last 2018. We’ve done workshops in Cebu and in Dumaguete and it was quite a ride. Presently, both of us are focusing more on our careers and so we’ve let the workshops go; but the hobby remains!

Happy Writing!

Loom Weaving

a good gift idea I make for my dear friends

I joined an online loom weaving workshop last September 2020. I’ve been making projects from leftover yarns from my crochet.

I don’t do this hobby all the time but it’s cool to know how to make diy wall decors haha! and to be able to know how to use the loom.

Film Photos

Film Camera: Olympus OZ 70

I started shooting with film last April 2022. I love the excitement and thrill in only seeing the photos that I took after they are developed.

There is something special in capturing moments without actually seeing the moments on screen; which we do all the time.
