One Day You're In

My craft has been pretty intermittent, unless the muse strikes back or opportunity knocks, to which I say, "Hello, come in!" And like a well-packed lunchbox, I simply have to share them with you. AKA All items must go!

But first, a back story.

This is Kylie, a rose among the thorns in the lovely and artfully neglected campus, UP Diliman. One rainy Saturday, we got stranded in the bungalow/school (the one near the playground near Archi), together with my photographer Joseph, a pack of stray guard dogs, a clingy black cat, and a random couple.

Thus, in pursuit of pretty things, Tim Gunn's "Make it work" became that afternoon's philosophy.

Look! That's heavy rain in the background!

After 5

There is this rabbit hole which I've slipped into for the past couple of weeks.

So you see, this post, this collection is my grandiose effort to win you back, get better at my craft and ignore the fact that it is getting a little bit harder to wake up these days. :)

This is After 5, the formal line of accessories from Bend & Snap. And although I'm unsure how well it will hold up over time, I'm really smitten by the thought of having a bridal line. Right now, it's all about curating, cherishing, discovering, editing, inventing, upcycling, recycling and most of all, having the confidence that this trial and error method will lead me somewhere.

Naturally, sand, charcoal, greys and blues, all paired with metallic black and sequins (I'm not really a less is more kind of girl) became the palette for After 5 to "warm up" the cooler nights.

Anyway, I hope you find something here that will make your heart go boom buroom boom boom!

With love, Risa
