I still have some air dry clay left from my previous project and so I decided to play again with it and create a bookmark for Bee Happy Weeklies Week 19: BOOKMARK.

It was a crazy idea of treating the air dry clay like paper - color, die cut, stamp and stencil on it. Surprisingly, it worked and it gave good results! For those who are not good at sculpting, you may try this technique.

You may buy these air dry clays at Bee Happy store🤩🥰🐝

I can’t believe we’re already nearing the end of the first half of the year. ☀️

Since it’s summer, I felt it was the perfect time to use my Sky Escape sticker sheet for this May planner spread. The blend of cool blues and warm oranges in these panoramic skies brings such a calm, comforting vibe which is something we all need every now and then.

If you’d like a copy of this vinyl sticker sheet, feel free to send me a message. This is available in glitter, glossy, and matte.

And of course, I had to complete this spread with my Ohuhu Journal Pens which has dual tips - brush and fine tips perfect for journaling.

I saw air dry clay kits when I visited Bee Happy store during their anniversary party then I instantly thought of using this as a material for Bee Happy Anniversary Weeklies 14: Handmade Birthday Bouquet.

Since Bee Happy’s anniversary is in springtime, I thought of making a bunny sitting beside a bed of flowers. This handmade birthday bouquet shows soft blooms, cute and pastel details that can be a sweet reminder of how creativity blossoms in the most joyful seasons.

It was fun working on this material. Easy to mold, no smell and not sticky. It dries fast so be sure to store any clay you’re not using to prevent it from drying out. I think I’m gonna buy more of this clay so I can have the other colors.

It has been a month of not creating anything because I went through hopelessness, burnout, disappointments and “failures”. I thought that my bodies of work were not seen and appreciated the way I see others do in social media. I also felt that artmaking is just a luxury when you don’t have a lot of extra time. I’m a working mom and wife, and life threw a lot of tasks for me to do. I thought to myself, why make art when no one appreciates what I do and I’d have to wake up all night to finish a piece (and why do I cry while writing this caption?)?

Bee Happy Anniversary Week 15: Mosaic - Be Crafty, Bee Happy made me recollect my thoughts and ask my self why I make art/craft. The simple answer is it makes me happy. I remember my 7-year old self, drawing on a piece of paper and pinning it to our walls, pretending like an artist exhibiting in an art gallery. No one sees it except my family, but there is joy of making and putting it for display. So like a phoenix rising from the ashes and cherry blossoms blooming on a spring day, I am emerging and creating again after some setbacks. I don’t think of failures as “failures” but lessons I have to learn so I can evolve as an artist. And while I put these paper pieces together to form this work, it’s like putting my thoughts and dreams again so that my 7-year old self will be proud of me.
