Shadow Box

Here's what I finished so far..not so much clay work yet just the box..very slow progress and I definitely need to finish this week!!

the box...I used illustration board bought at national bookstore. I chose the board with a colored white back..usually used for painting and sketching.

Tried it if it would fit the frame. Yey it fits!:) i bought the frame at Japan home center..this store rocks!! Lots of useful things that you can buy at a very cheap price...Php66 or Php88?!! hehe

This is how the back of the box looks like. I'm still not sure how I will glue it to the frame! I'm planning to use a thick masking tape and then paint it silver or gold. Still not sure but I'm hoping that I can come up with a good solution.

I started to make flowers already. I hope I can come up with more flowers soon!:)

I'm really hoping to finish this project this week! Wish me LUCK!

I can't wait for next year's Clay Fest. I'm sure CF 2012 will be bigger! Congrats again to all the event organizers, exhibitors and participants!! Job well Done!:)

A big thank you to my hubby for taking care of Liam while I joined the Clay Fest! They surely had a good time too...eating ice cream and going to the toy store. Here's a pic of Liam while enjoying his time with Daddy. Thank God for supportive husbands!! hehe

Clay Fest 2011

Clay Fest 2011 was a success! Two thumbs up to the Beadlady for organizing such a wonderful event! I had a really good time catching up with my "claying" friends! It was also fun meeting new clayists (and the number just keeps on growing!) Lots of fun activities and demos during the 2 day event! I think compared to last year, the number of exhibitors doubled! Here are pics of some of the activities and booths...

Journal Project..DONE! :)

Oh blog..i missed you. After a very long break, here i am again. :)

I'm finally done with my journal project! yahoo! I really love the way it turned out! Referring to my post way way back..i was supposed to use a different journal ( the cover has butterflies on it) but changed my mind..because last month, i bought a Moleskin sketchbook! I bought one because i really have to have a book where i can put all the designs and projects that i have in mind. I was decided to look for one with very nice paper and will really last for a long, long time. So now I bid goodbye to tissue and scratch paper sketches. haha:) It was really expensive but worth it! The paper inside is so nice to use for drawing and coloring. In other words..SULIT!!

For this project, i used Beadlady Sparklers (mica pigment powders). They are indeed little stars in a jar! They really add shimmer and dimension to your work.

Without further ado..here's my journal/sketchbook..

Here's the first sketch that i made..

And here's my next project! A Shadow Box for my mom. Can't wait to start on it:) I hope that I will get it right! I need to finish it before her birthday.
