{ Krafted } Matte Pin Badges

I'm now stocking up on items to sell and coming up with new ideas for merchandise. I'm planning to sell my items in a concept store in Cebu. Button pins are quite a nice way to showcase my designs so here they are! I'm very excited about these badges because they're matte. I usually see the glossy ones but these are really nice to look and feel.

I'm starting with designs of carefully selected Bible verses and my Philippine destination artworks.

This is a long but fun process to do! Doing these in bronze for fifty pieces of envelopes for blush pink envelopes.

Thank you, Sir

I feel sad of the passing of Papemelroti's co-founder Mr. Bienvenido Alejandro.

I don't know him personally but as the person who shared Papemelroti to the world, I'm so thankful and inspired and sad at the same time.

I grew up admiring the brand's products and was my main inspiration in so many of my projects. I dreamed of going to their story but until today, I've never visited a brick and mortar Papemelroti store. My vision today has so much to do with their style and I can only say that without it, I may have different style and aesthetics in my work and I honestly wouldn't have it any other way.

A's Bridal Shower

I love intimate gatherings like this bridal shower in honor for A. Her sister N threw this party for her as a surprise. It's truly challenging to keep a party a surprise to the bride because they were very close.

There were only ten of her best and closest friends and I was very pleased to take photos of everything. So much fun and laughter that it felt like I was part of the group.

Bachelorette parties usually have very naughty themes and decorations but this one is quite nice because it was wholesome. It was just pure fun and celebration for A and everything to remind you of how fun girls can be around each other.
