Washi+Papercutting Workshop

Last Sunday, I attended afternoon craft workshop at Cordillera CoffeeIn this workshop, you will learn the skills needed to make your own cut paper work. This was my first time but now I'm very enthusiastic about this. My exposure to paper art was limited to simple projects in my grade school and high school art classes. The workshop started with simple exercises (design templates are available to use), using a craft knife to make cuts and shapes. It was a really lovely day and a great bunch of people to work with and meet. Plus thank you Lord for the fair weather.
All the materials we needed and my first Washi tape
I'm so in-love with this cutting pad because it has my name on it.
Haha!!

some of Mansy's work that were displayed
Getting all serious.. Haha! It was a deceptively simple but believe me its an intimidating and complex medium.
Beautiful work produced by the participants, I think they have done really well but mine was a complete mess. I didn't manage to get it all finished within an hour but I ain't complaining. 
With Mansy Abesamis, who lead the workshop, resident crafter and owner of Hey Kessy. She creates intricate paper cuttings, you should go visit her blog.
The Group of 10 girls worked on their  Papercut works.

Every day is a war

In a vast space of reality, battling the challenges of crossroads and inevitable pressure. We all need to take a break sometimes. Oddly, though, I need a break Everyday! haha!!
Taken just a few days ago. This picture of mine is not helping.
I wish every day could be like this.
