The Offbeat Cat at Belle and Cat's Sunday Fair

Hi meows!  The Offbeat Cat (me) was a part of Belle and Cat's Sunday fair last July 27.  It was a super fun event filled with art, crafts, handmade items (like leather bags, jewelry) and snacks!  They also served the best and crunchiest okay ever!  I think I had about 5... Lol

Yummy snacks for everyone (free!)

I had my meow stickers on sale along with some kitty brooches and earrings!

 So happy that my meow stickers sold fast!

 I still have a lot of pending orders to ship :D

 

Hey!  Those meows look familiar!

Bonne Handmade sold these cool turbans

 Studio Bohemia had beautiful resin jewelry.  I heard that they also supply to the Ayala Museum gift shop!

Another fave - jewelry by Istorya!  You can have the words and names customized :D

Anyway, don't worry if you missed the last fair because we will be back on August 17 for the Anti-Monday Bazaar!  There will be lots of cool shops and maybe even one selling a fender frontman 10g!  I'll be posting more details when I get them.  Hope to see you there :D

Craft Camp Weekend

I can't believe over a week has passed since the most awesome weekend ever - the Craft Camp!  It was a long countdown for all of us since we signed up months in advance.  I remember waking up really early when registration started (it was posted at 6am!) just to be sure that I get a slot.  I haven't done anything crafty in a long time since most of my work is computer based!  I also felt that I needed to go out and meet new people since I spend most of my time at cooped up at home. :D  

We left the city at around 5 am and arrived a little past 9.  I was surprised at how lovely the place was!  It was definitely conducive to a weekend of crafting - save for the wonderful background sound of people singing Skyline Pigeon and Laklak on the karaoke :D  Anyway, here are some of the highlights of the event.

Very true!

Washi tape buffet :D

We made paint palette cases out of baked sculpey clay

and watercolor using gum arabic, honey and natural dyes

 That's my flying cat on the Gocco machine :D

Making tea!  Lots of herbs and leaves to choose from.

Wire rings.  I'm the one with the green nails :D

photo of me with my tribe, handmade journal I decorated with washi tape and wire ring

Pompoms!  Overall it was an awesome event.  It was fun to craft by the beach and also meet several like minded people :)

I miss you, Zambales!  Hope to see you soon :)
