Hey, boys!<br />
<br />
Yup, we're talking to you! Do you already have gifts in mind for the 14th? If not, don't fret because we've got you covered. We're sure you all have received handmade gifts from the important women in you life, and now it's your turn to go the extra mile and show them how much you love and appreciate them with handmade gifts!<br />
<br />
Wait, before you back out and say that crafting is just too hard for you, we invited 6 gentlemen - Harry, Gomer, Carlo, Robins, Mawsy, and Seb - to the shop and let them try out some simple craft projects that they can give for Valentine's!<br />

Hey, crafters!<br />
<br />
It’s a brand new year! Amazing how we can all enjoy a clean slate at the start of each year. New Years are, after all, for the hopeful. <br />
<br />
2015 was a really great year for us at Hey Kessy! We met new friends and fellow crafters, traveled and shared our creative ideas to people outside Manila, while learning from them as well. We even got to organize art events! For 2016, we want to expand our horizons by sharing more - not just our usual DIY projects, but also other experiences as we go along doing arts and crafts. <br />
<br />
Here are our favorite happenings for Hey Kessy in 2015! Raise your hand if you were there!:)<br />
<br />
<b>1. Katipunan Art Festival</b><br />
<br />
It’s always a good idea to work with creative people from different backgrounds. We definitely learned a lot from everyone who was there with us to celebrate Katipunan last October! From crafters to designers, makers to street artists, potters to furniture designers, as well as musicians and wordsmiths. It was day of craft workshops, art demos, exhibits, and music, all while spending time with friends and family to appreciate art!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>2. Robert Alejandro x Hey Kessy Washi Tape Launch</b><br />
<br />
All we can say is that we love kuya Robert’s washi tape design! Every Filipino would definitely appreciate how he infused local culture to his design – there was a jeepney, <i>taho,</i> <i>palamig</i> sellers, even the usual cat who hang out by the street. This year, we’ll come up with more collaborations like this, so stay tuned!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>3. Craft Exchange</b><br />
One of the goals we had when 2015 began was to bring in a new kind of inspiration and something that had not been done before! Luckily, we were able to do it!<br />
<br />
A few years back, we had a papercutting workshop in the Letter J Supply Studio in Singapore. Last year, the owner, Joanne, who happens to be one of Singapore’s top calligraphers, flew in and taught a brush calligraphy workshop in the studio!<br />
<br />
It was definitely amazing to be with artists and creative from other places. We got to learn ways of thinking and came up with fresh ideas!<br />

<br />
<b>4. Bacolod and Iloilo Workshops</b><br />
<br />
Bacolod is such a lovely art paradise. We were left in awe of how Art was everywhere! And of course, how can we forget how kind and warm the people were! Not to mention that their food was one of the best we’ve ever tasted! Watch out for our Bacolod Workshop blog post soon. <br />
<br />
We also had a mini Papercutting Workshop in a lovely craft shack in IloIlo. The lovely macramé artist Anna Jimenez and our dear friend Marga Koopmans made this dream of starting something new outside the big city and meet crafters from other parts of the country, come true! <br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's already mid-November and before we know it, Christmas and holiday parties are just a few days away! Before you panic with your Christmas gift list, here are craft workshops you can attend this month, where you can make cool gifts for your loved ones! Giving a friend the gift of an afternoon of making is a pretty good idea, too!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We’re always excited when crafters and makers from other cities visit us, and hold workshops the studio.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For our first <b>Craft Exchange</b>, </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">a calligrapher friend from Singapore, Joanne of The Letter J Supply, flew in with her intern, and held a Brush Calligraphy Workshop.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Macy and I also took them to a Sunday market in Makati, and toured them around the different sections - there were handmade products, fresh produce, and local delicacies. </span><br />

I tried making soap the other weekend, and liked it! Being surrounded with kindred spirits, learning about a new craft in a lovely house in Antipolo - if you know me well, you'd know that I'm most calm and at ease whenever I'm surrounded by trees, plants, and leaves - and making soap over delish food our teacher Ana Gutch of <b>Body Food All-Natural </b>and his brother, Vitty, served made my Saturday morning perfect.<br />
<br />
I was amazed with Ana's huge collection of additives for her handmade soaps - dried orange peels, hibiscus powder, tea leaves, flowers, cinnamon, lavender, essential oils, cocoa butter, and many other she bought locally and from her travels abroad. I admire how dedicated she is to her chosen craft. She's always trying new combinations, experimenting with new soap recipes.<br />

Intern Cara here writing for the Hey Kessy blog! I went on vacation in Japan, and I got to scout for crafty destinations in Osaka and Kyoto, and here are my three favorite spots: </span><br />
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Kamogawa-jinja shrine located on the outskirts of Kyoto holds a regular arts and crafts fair every month on the beautiful temple grounds. It's a lovely atmosphere where crafters from all around Japan come together and showcase all their unique works - and it's a great place to scout for some inspiration, talk to other makers, and maybe grab a couple of great buys while you're at it. </span></span><br />

I can't believe we already have 7 original <a href="http://www.heykessy.com/" target="_blank">washi tape</a> designs since we started in 2011! The latest design, <b>Make Things Happen</b>, was a collaboration with <a href="http://artistic-dreams.com/" target="_blank">Abbey Sy</a>, one of the most talented local letterers today.<br />
<br />
For the launch, we invited crafters and makers for an afternoon of crafting - we made shrink art jewelry and painted porcelain cups and bowls. Abbey also gave a short talk about her design, and also about, yes, how to make things happen! <br />

<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cut out the pieces, make sure that there's an allowance around your drawing, and punch a hole for the key ring. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6666666666667px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Bake them in the oven for 2-3 minutes. They will curl (don't panic!) and flatten. Take them out when they're flat already. </span></li>

We recently launched a new series of workshops where we invite other crafters, makers, and artists to teach at the studio. The first one was a Basic Watercolor Workshop with <a href="https://instagram.com/rainesarmiento/" target="_blank">Raine Sarmiento</a>, and we were thrilled at how it turned out!<br />
<br />
The participants (my interns and I were able to sit in!) learned about different brush strokes and techniques on how to paint still life. Here are some of the photos of that crafty afternoon:<br />

My kiddie craft interns, Mawsy and Mitaw, also hung out to make their own card and test out our new products made especially for the young ones - <b>We Can Too</b> finger paint, sculpting dough, sidewalk chalk, and crayons.

Even from the start, I'd get hooked to paper marbling! It's easy to do, fun, and let's you experiment with colors and patterns - which we know we crafters and makers couldn't resist! <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/mansillianasunday/18034552498" title="DIY Marbled Paper by Mansilliana Sunday, on Flickr"><img alt="DIY Marbled Paper" height="640" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8835/18034552498_35ecf14e2e_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
<b>MATERIALS:</b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Piñata Alcohol Inks (you can get from the Hey Kessy shop in Katipunan)</li>
<li>Paper</li>
<li>Water</li>
<li>Tray (with at least 2inch walls)</li>
<li>Stick</li>
</ul>

<br />
<b>STEPS:</b><br />
1. Prepare your marbling basin. Fill the tray up to 2/3 with water. <br />
2. Drop Piñata alcohol inks in the water. This is where the fun begins! AS the droplets spread, you can experiment with different color combinations. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/mansillianasunday/18190951545" title="DIY Marbled Paper by Mansilliana Sunday, on Flickr"><img alt="DIY Marbled Paper" height="471" src="https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8866/18190951545_d7d103f4c4_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> <br />
<br />
4. Slowly, push the paper in the basin, just below the water. Make sure that you start dipping with one side only. Twist or bend the paper to change the patterns. <br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After much planning, we’re now offering a valuable and fun working experience for eager, creative minds to join us as an intern for a two-month period beginning on the second week of May 2015.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The main responsibility of the intern would be to help plan and run craft events and workshops, so we’re looking for someone with a bright personality, great organization skills, and who, of course, loves doing arts and crafts. <br />
<br />
Aside from being involved in events, the intern would also occasionally assist in photoshoots and play around with new craft materials! It’ll be fun work, but they will also need to handle some clerical tasks - emails, reports, and other admin matters - to gain valuable skills for their future careers.<br />
<br />

<li>Why should we pick you? Tell us something about yourself that you feel would make you a perfect fit for the Hey Kessy team.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>The deadline for applications is on May 8, 2015. </b><br />

My nephew Mawsy and some of my friends from <b>INK</b> also dropped by. I hope we have more weekends like these! It's always a good idea to have fellow creatives around and talk to them about their crafts.<br />

Notice how much I take advantage of the summer heat for my craft projects? I'm lining up more summer DIY projects, and this one is definitely one of the simplest and yummiest!<br />
<br />
I first learned about sundried tomatoes through my sister Germee back in gradeschool. She loved buying cold cuts, different types of cheese, and pickled veggies from a local delicatessen. She gave me a few pieces of the best and first sundried tomatoes I've ever tasted. It was always a treat for me snacking on them. Until eventually, I realized how expensive they were!<br />
<br />
There's an organic vegetable store near the studio so I figured why not make my own sundried tomato salad! <br />
