Hand lettering

I started drawing when I was in elementary school,maybe even before that.I used to copy the Strawberry shortcake characters in my pajamas.From then on I got a steady supply of pencil colors,crayons,water colors and colored pens from my father who's working abroad that time.I just learned on my own.I never had art classes,I don't think I'm that talented.The only formal training I had with design was during the drafting classes in college.

I took up drawing again because I saw my old paint brush set,old cards I made and my sketch book- while cleaning mom's house.

It is therapeutic for me.It really helps me take my mind off my daily routines.It is also taking what I have learned from my reading,to another level.Sometimes,I can come up with designs I can associate with the verse quickly,sometimes,it takes me days to develop one.

Card Project II

My first off my new set of cards with the 40's,50's,60's theme.I just like that era.The red gown fabric was made from the swatch of my bride's maids gown last November 2011.The first set was themed "cuddly animals" and was given away to friends in Cebu last year.I didn't have pictures of them though.

I like using fabric,lace,ribbons and tassels from my old clothes and cloth swatches.I also like using them for small decorations around the house : )
