Wow, it's been three years since my last post here, and so much have changed. I promise, unintentional blog abandonment is what happened. My priority during those years was my husband. But yeah... Gerry passed away in December of last year, and I'm honestly devastated since then, and I miss him terribly. The difference from earlier this year is, I'm more coherent right now that's why I can write.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So much creative plans in the future. Although, I'm focusing more on personal projects because so much stuff for myself and about my husband that need to be done. No commissions for now. I'm taking care of my day job, his blogs, his comics, and his Komikero Komiks Museum. Yes, that one still alive and receiving guests constantly. I hope one day you all get to visit as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I'll be posting pics of what I'm up to once a week or twice a month. I'm still not sure as I'm still figuring out my schedule. I know I promised myself, which I published(!) here, to post more often but it had been an utter failure because there was nothing to post. Hopefully, this time, it's for real. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For now, let me leave you with a pic of the both of us in our future home (I'm sure, he's there already and waiting for it to get done) which is still being constructed. The bay window is so big(!), which is what he wanted, it's outside the frame of this pic: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Oh, and by the way, please take care everybody. Let's wash our hands thoroughly, and maintain social distance. Let's all just stay inside and do our papercrafting, I think that's more sensible. Remember to always consider those who can't possibly survive this.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We had been busy setting up the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/komiksmuseum/" target="_blank">Komikero Komiks Museum</a> which launched on August 13, 2016. Yes, it was August and it was the 13th. If you're the superstitious Filipino, you know what those things mean. Unfortunately for the superstitious, it was a very successful affair!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Right now, me and my friends (who are the actual owners), are trying to get our act together to finally fill up the Tia Maria's Sining at Kultura gallery cafe with art works from local artists. The owners are very much keen on promoting local arts and culture of San Pablo City. Hopefully, we will have the gallery up and running before the year 2016 ends.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Komikero Komiks Museum is a room within the gallery, and the cafe is in operations.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My father loved taking photos of us as a family from when my brother and I were tiny little people till when we were in college, in his trusty Canon SLR camera... don't ask me about the model, I have no idea. We accumulated a number of film negatives from these photo ops, and since he was a hoarder and my mother, a sometime sentimentalist, they were able to keep these negatives in one place.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">About 20 years ago, I found them stacked along with other documents and asked my mother if I could keep them. I stashed them in a box filled with silica gel and didn't do anything about it. A month ago, I saw them again and thought to myself, I should buy the film negative binders they sell online. Unfortunately, shipping is so prohibitive that I decided to think of something else to store them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I read online that these negatives can be stored in either polyethylene or polypropylene containers. So, when I found these clearbooks with polypropylene pockets, I got a few and decided to use them instead. I divided each pocket into seven and made running stitches bothways to secure each strip compartment, and voila! I keep them in a pouch filled with silica gel again to help with moisture control.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm going through these film negatives, selecting the strips to print so I can give them to my mother so she can enjoy reminiscing clearer and bigger copies. The old photos are now faded and yellowed. I'm looking forward to a film negative scanner so I can have these preserved digitally. I hope I can find a good one.</span>Ilyn Florese-Alanguilanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03516421250342290573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35838769.post-83499991897683133552016-05-31T16:36:00.001+08:002016-05-31T16:40:29.058+08:002016 Summer Art Workshop Exhibit!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here are some of the photos we took from our exhibit last 21 May 2016. See how proud the kids were for their accomplishment! These artworks in pencil rendering and watercolor were first for them, and they came out wonderfully. Although these workshops were open to any age group, the participants for this summer were children aged 6 to 15 years old.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We had ribbon cutting ceremony and a bit of mocktails going on, and the kids and their parents were very happy with what their children accomplished.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thank you so much to my friends who own this gallery cafe with no name yet (Calle Sining is one of those names they're still mulling over), and has yet to open sometime in 2016, for offering the space for the exhibit to take place.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was an intense Perspective Drawing Workshop last Saturday, 14th of May, mainly because four of the participants were there because they just wanted to know what it was about. A quarter of the time into the Workshop, I shifted gears, because I doubted that they'd appreciate the technical ramblings that came with the original lecture. It was extremely fun, though! Those ladies were something else.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I asked one of the participants, a drafting student, to come back another day so I can give her a more relevant version of the lecture. I'm glad she did.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Someone wasn't able to make it t<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">hat day, so <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">we agreed that we'<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">d reschedule <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">his workshop for another Saturday. I really don't mind <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">rescheduling for just one person<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.</span></span></span></span></span></span> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's my <b>Watercolor Painting Workshop</b> in the morning. We were doing a lesson on color schemes, this one, it's about a Triadic color combination with Primary Colors as applied to a simple still life.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This <b>Pencil Drawing Workshop</b> is in the afternoon (we move to the patio after lunch, because it's cooler there in the afternoon). Here, the kids are doing separate projects because they finish each of their drawings at their own pace. The youngest was doing lines because she started just today. The oldest was doing a pencil rendering of the clay jar on her right side. The two on the left were doing their simple bowl, trying to apply shades and shadows on their drawings. The one on the foreground was finishing up with her set of line drawings of objects based on basic forms like cylinder, sphere, cone, and cuboid.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last Saturday, we had someone who signed up for a <b>Paper Cutting Workshop</b>. Since it's her first time to do anything related to this craft, we chose to make a simple monogram for her which she also designed. We mounted her finish product after we cleaned up her project.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">These workshops are for everyone who would like to spend time to learn the basics of watercolor painting and pencil drawing. These are skills-based workshops, and less about concepts and ideas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Who can be participants? Anyone from 7 years old or older. Exercises and projects will be adjusted to age and capabilities of the individual. As long as you have the interest to learn about these things, it’s going to be a breeze. Please, don’t force anyone or be forced to do anything that’s not wanted, it will only lead to resentment and unhappiness, and no one wants that. But I digress.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The fee will only include materials. Just bring yourself… and snacks for yourself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">At the end of the workshop period, around mid-May, there will be an exhibit of selected works of participants at the Art Gallery and Komiks Museum we are in the process of putting up. Details will be announced later.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We have a <b>Perspective Drawing Workshop</b> coming up! We know Google SketchUp is a lot of help and by all means use it! Technology is there to make our lives easier. But sometimes, we just want to learn how to draw environments and objects in correct perspective, and apply it to our personal projects. Sometimes, there is satisfaction in doing it ourselves... from scratch. And we can do that!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We are going to touch up on the concepts behind One-Point Perspective, Two-Point Perspective, and Three-Point Perspective. We will discuss the technical version (a little) and the guesswork version (a lot). We will have a few smaller exercises, and a final drawing output (hopefully) by the end of the workshop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When you sign up, you could tell us<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> the reason for it, <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">so</span> we could adjust the <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">lectu<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">re and the exercises to your needs.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This will be limited to 10 participants only so we could have more time with each other, than if the class size is bigger. The workshop fee include all materials that you could need during the session. However, it does not include food, so bring your own snacks<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Registration <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">is <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">until 9 May 2016.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I already started with my lessons for the incoming freshman architecture student. We are doing good so far. We're tackling architectural drafting in pencil and, pen and ink; freehand drawing in pencil and, pen and ink; and, watercolor and mixed-media rendering. Later on, we'll have perspective drawing (both the guesstimate and technical method), scale model making, and lastly, introduction to history and design. All in one-and-a-half months. *inhale*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Tomorrow, there will be another student, and this one's an interior design sophomore who's having difficulty catching up with the technical drawings part of the course. She's good, she's intelligent, but she's just beginning to learn technical drawing skills, and college is too fast for real beginners whose professor tells her she needs to improve her work without telling her how or why, or at least, recommending any book she could pore over to understand the subject. According to her, she recognizes that her technical drawings are not at all up to par with what's acceptable in the college... especially at the end of freshman year, but she doesn't know how to achieve that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each of them has her own set of lessons that would be more specific to each of their needs.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I never thought I'd see the day that college students will pay for tutorials as many do for elementary and high school students. It both amuses and disturbs me a bit. And in case you're wondering how am I teaching them, I'm a professional architect and taught architectural drafting for five years, and art class for elementary students for another three years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">And my Paris scrapbook took a backseat. Again.</span>Ilyn Florese-Alanguilanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03516421250342290573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35838769.post-18195922307271028012015-06-09T16:49:00.000+08:002015-06-09T17:02:00.094+08:00In the Meantime...<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am preparing a sort of syllabus for introduction to Architecture.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My friends' daughter is going to college this school year and going to take Bachelor of Science in Architecture in one of the good universities in the country. She doesn't want to go in ignorant as to what she'd face there academically that's why she expressed interest in being tutored in that direction. We don't have senior high school yet for that to be possible for her to do and get credits for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Her mom came to me and asked me if I could provide her with some introductory lessons. Here's the thing that makes it funny: the kid's father, also a good friend, is an architect, a very prolific one at that, and has an established firm of his own. I don't think he has the patience to teach, though, even if he knows more than I do in practical terms since he's the one who does the actual designing and building.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After reviewing what I came up with, it looks like it's going to cover the first two years of her major subjects. I think that would be enough to boost her confidence in joining a herd of students who came from more well-known private schools in the metro... we all know it's a thing for people from the province (from those abroad, that phrase is something like 'from the country') like us to prove ourselves. (Personally, I just didn't care back then, except for that time I was in a calculus class filled with students who graduated from PSHS when I cried buckets of tears and blood because it was hard for me but so, so easy for them, but I digress.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So, tomorrow, I'm going to meet with her who I've known since she was in kindergarten. It's going to be a tight schedule until school opens in August if we would follow my suggestion. We would need to talk this over so we could agree on a more workable schedule together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After that, it's the Weekend Arts & Crafts Workshop in August. Yay!</span>Ilyn Florese-Alanguilanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03516421250342290573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35838769.post-50135392274199745332015-06-05T09:56:00.003+08:002015-06-05T09:56:54.452+08:00This Is A Miracle!<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello again.

Cookies for those who'd be able to guess the reference for the title. If you're in the Philippines, I'll send you something.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, the weekend Arts & Crafts Workshop is going to push through. I'm still trying to figure some things out. It's going to probably start sometime in August.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the meantime, after almost two years, I'm finally able to start with these scrapbooks of our trip to Algiers, Algeria and Paris, France in October 2013. Like everyone else, I'd love to do it in 12" x 12" format, but alas! Like always, I was intimidated and overwhelmed even before I start. I said to myself, with not a small amount of bleeping words to mention here for general audience, I'd just make a couple of 8" x 8" bound by rings. I'd do the books myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And here they are. They're not finished yet, but I'm currently working on them. (No. They're not just on my table to remind me to work on them. I'm actually, really working on them. Ha!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wrote the words by hand; cut some titles by hand; and did some high school-level kind of letter cutting. I have a Cricut but somehow, I'm not happy with the letters that it gives me. They felt so impersonal. I used them for journaling cards, though. The pages are as simple as can be. I don't want to further overwhelm myself and give up after working on one page, so I just did this.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Wow. My goodness. How long has it been?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So much personal things happened and still are happening, but I think I've adjusted enough to do this. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This year, soon, hopefully, I'll start my Weekend Arts and Crafts Workshop here in San Pablo City, Laguna, that will run all year through with few breaks in between. It'll be open to everyone from 6 to 106 years old. Heh! Not a joke, though. The Arts part will include drawing, painting and mixed media art classes. On the other hand, the Crafts part will focus mostly on papercrafts, because that's what I love the most.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm still thinking if I'd like to offer calligraphy class but I'm mostly a fan of really pretty handwriting for everyday use, and not the artistic kind that which could be framed afterwards. If there are people who are interested in improving their handwriting, then I'd probably offer that... even if I'd only have a couple of students.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Each class will have 10 sessions of 2-4 hours each. If you want to stay beyond that, it's up to you. Bring your lunch and snacks, though. I'll provide water. Arts classes will be in the morning. Crafts classes in the afternoon. Lessons will be age appropriate, so it's going to be, more or less, one-on-one instruction even if we're going to be in a big group.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Even if you think you don't know how to draw and you still want to take classes, please come! You will surprise yourself. I promise. So, if you're around my area, please check us out after I've hashed out and posted the details.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Fees will be on a per session basis. There will be an official announcement later on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">See you later, guys!</span>Ilyn Florese-Alanguilanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03516421250342290573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35838769.post-23157005473908371412014-03-26T16:59:00.000+08:002014-03-26T17:03:41.391+08:00It's Going To Be A Long Summer Vacation<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello everyone!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just read the news yesterday that, apparently, our school calendar will shift and Academic Year 2014-2015 will start in August. Four months out of school, and that means a lot of time for papercrafting. So much time I could devote to it and yet...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My problem, and this has always been my problem for years and years, I cannot stop reading. I would start reading something and say, "Oh, just two chapters today." or "Just those two articles," and then I will do chores. Or do some crafts. No. That never happens. I would devour that book till the last page, and would realize the day has come and gone. Sometimes, I would realize, months have passed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wish I could say, "I will do crafts this coming four months and nothing but that," but I'm sure it won't be true. I'll try my best. I hope this would be better than my New Year's Resolutions where none ever came close to happening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's me. Giving myself a pep talk to do creative things in the next four months. GO!</span>Ilyn Florese-Alanguilanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03516421250342290573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35838769.post-5877597333840862352014-03-26T16:11:00.000+08:002014-03-26T16:11:17.307+08:00Griffonage<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today, I learned a new word.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I said I'm going to post something around the 15th. Well, the 16th pretty much still hugs around the 15th, yes? Anyway, I was just so tired last night to post anything at all, so I'm doing it now.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yesterday, Gerry had a signing at Comic Odyssey for one of his comic books. Also, we got to deliver 10 of these box sets as well. We offered 20 box sets but as it is submissions time at the uni, I wouldn't be able to do that for the 15th. So, 10 sets, and another set for delivery on April 12th for this <a href="http://www.komikon.org/" target="_blank"><b>Summer Komikon</b></a> or the <a href="http://www.komikon.org/" target="_blank"><b>Philippine Komiks Convention</b></a>. I actually made something similar back in 2009 for <a href="http://paper-basket.blogspot.com/2009/03/elmer-boxes.html" target="_blank"><b>Elmer comics</b></a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, what is a box set? I think, you guys are familiar with your dvd or Blu-ray box sets, right? It's similar to that. It is a set of related materials in a box, simply put. For this one, it is a set of printed and handwritten materials related to the comic book Wasted. My husband made this comics 20 years ago and it still has such a following up to today. This edition is the third printing, excluding the one that was printed in Fudge magazine years back. Now, for Summer Komikon, we are going to launch another comic book written by my husband and drawn by my cousin, Arnold Arre, titled Rodski Patotski. It's in full color and printing is not really cheap so we thought of raising some funds for that. One of them was to produce these box sets.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It contained a hardbound copy of Wasted with a slipcase. If you look at the above photo, the book is the one splattered in red paint and the one behind it is the slipcase. It goes inside the bottom compartment of the box which is also the main box, and on top of it, there is another compartment for the extras as shown here:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVm4grSQAaPPyOb5MgsyuoXVn_47zayzanLRLF2_HKRNf65ATnHbksDZe1ybwe6PPs0KZwMcTW_vqRaO8_TmZTtOZ49SeALjc7N_7a2k2A4c1kON9Aq4fUu49WcM-k6m176Q0r/s1600/boxset_003.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVm4grSQAaPPyOb5MgsyuoXVn_47zayzanLRLF2_HKRNf65ATnHbksDZe1ybwe6PPs0KZwMcTW_vqRaO8_TmZTtOZ49SeALjc7N_7a2k2A4c1kON9Aq4fUu49WcM-k6m176Q0r/s1600/boxset_003.JPG" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The box is black to complement the comics, and lined inside with a textured red board because textured board is very glue-friendly. The bottom inside of the main box has strips of black board that act as corbel to hold up the top compartment. It also has a black ribbon to pull up the book as it would be difficult to remove it without something aiding it up. If you also notice, the top compartment also has a ribbon loop so it would be easy to pull it up as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here's the inside so you can see more clearly:</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And here's Zara, wrapping and labeling the boxes in Japanese (tissue) paper and plastic bags to avoid dirt and grime sticking to them. And of course, I wouldn't want the photo on top sticking to the plastic:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would like to make a video or photoset tutorial for these boxes. Sometimes, though, when I'm so into it, I forget what other things I'm supposed to do. I hope I don't forget this time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's submissions time at the university! Finished six reflection papers (two-page essays each) in the last month, and two research papers to finish until March 24th, and I'm dead. My English language brain cells are depleted to alarming levels. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And yet, I'm so happy about these two subjects I got this semester: Socio-Cultural Foundations of Education, and Teaching Strategies for Developing Critical and Creative Thinking. The discussions and the papers we did were very meaningful, thought-provoking, and it makes you want to really do something and be somebody better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'll be posting something around the 15th. I hope I'm still alive by then. See you!</span>Ilyn Florese-Alanguilanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03516421250342290573noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35838769.post-2897237070338598722014-02-05T14:18:00.000+08:002014-02-05T14:18:10.080+08:00Custom Stationery<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello February!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is one of those projects I didn't know I would ever do. I don't really draw. I mean, yes, I'm an architect but I'm more of the three-dimensional-building kind of designer. I like three-dimensions; four, if time travel is involved. Drawing is two dimension, flat on a surface without texture, that actually involves sketching lines. It involves a lot of thinking, teeth-gnashing, and tears.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Get my drift about how I feel about drawing?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Second, this style of drawing is out of my comfort zone, but it is what is requested. These are my interpretation of the design requirement: something fun and not serious for these custom stationery. The names would be written in my handwriting. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, here are the thumbnails for the proposed designs. The one with the lamps and cushions, and the coconut tree, those are for the spa owner who's the client. The other two are for gifts to her friends. I'm still not sure if she would want these designs but for now, I'd like to share them with you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So. Another tip. These things come as needed and right now it's because my mind wanders as I read about Foucault's governmentality, politics of resentment and popular media in education for one of my MA papers I need to write. My mind is broken. Ha!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, this tip is about drawing wheel-like things like color wheel or pizza, as long as it has equal segments, without using straight rule or protractor because sometimes, that could be intimidating. This is only recommended if you're not required to draw anything with exact measurements. Of course, the number of segments, you can adjust as needed. However, as you may notice, it's only even-numbered segments.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I actually used this when I was preparing the color wheel worksheets for my young students. So, feel free to use it somewhere else that doesn't require accuracy. For this one, we will divide the paper in twelve segments which is just enough for a color wheel for primary, secondary and tertiary colors.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Step 1:</b> You'll need a round object as pattern, pencil, a pair of scissors, and a slightly thicker paper (not board!). I'm using a drawing paper from my sketchbook.</span><br />

I'm fairly new to Cricut which was a gift from a friend that had been in storage for a couple of years before I got around to using it. Ha! Anyway, one of the best things about it is that I can use both the positive and the negative pieces from the cut to get two objects in one go, and this is what happened.</span><br />

These are 7 sq. cm. fridge magnet I made from fabric scraps and a leftover sintra board, lined with scrapbooking paper from my stash. The magnet on the back was purchased from one of those P99 Japanese outlets in malls.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Type is mine, drawn on paper and traced on the fabric. Then I traced the outline with Chain Stitch, and the inside crisscross design with Outline stitch. I have yet to be brave to try out Satin Stitch. It seems to be my Waterloo.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a few days, it will be Christmas Day. So, I finally got around to finishing these little tree ornaments that are my gifts for my nieces. I started these in 2011 and they're two years in the making! I know, I need to commit more to these things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, these are made from fabric scraps from curtains my mother made and less than a yard of lace. I don't really do embroidery but once in a while I have the urge to do something with my little knowledge of it. I really hope my nieces treasure these.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are the front:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I hope it's great where you are.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">First of all, we, here in the Philippines, experienced the worst typhoon in recorded history ever, as I'm sure you all know by now, and our countrymen from the south experienced the worst. There are relief stations set up in places but you can also donate through Red Cross below. Just click the image to direct you to the site:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In other news, I survived my first semester in my chosen MA. I'm finding Curriculum Studies really fascinating, and I'm realizing Education as a course is really hard. I had a hard time adjusting to academia, I don't even know if I've adjusted yet, but it's very exciting to have my brain exercised that only academics can. I'm enrolled for this semester and, hopefully, I won't have any reason to stop until I'm finished with my thesis. One of my professors suggested a very, very good topic that I'd really like to explore. It has something to do with heritage conservation, K-12 curriculum and nationalism.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Less than month ago, I took a trip with the husband! However, I'd write about it some other time. I don't think it's the right time to talk about with what happened yesterday. As a sneak peek, though, this is where we went:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For the next few days, I'll be busy with some bookbinding, slipcases and boxes that would go together for a special project. Here goes something all black. I'll talk about it when it's finished. I have yet to find some red boards for the lining which I haven't found after visiting some supplies store.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So yes. Papercrafting is still a go. It's not going to be as often as I would like it to be. Sometimes, I'm just exhausted thinking about curriculum-related things whether I'm on either side of a lesson plan. I hope it changes soon enough.</span><br />
