Recca Hanabishi and Sakoshita Yanagi (3/365)

For Valentine’s Day of 2012, I drew my favorite anime couple — Recca Hanabishi and Sakoshita (or Anna in the Philippine version) Yanagi of Flame of Recca. I drew both correct anatomy and chibi ones. But I chose to finish the chibi version because it was cuter and faster to color. This was one of [...]

“On Hiatus” by Sailor Girl

I can’t believe that it’s been almost a year since I last updated this website. Even in my other social networking accounts, I haven’t been active at all. To those who’ve been wondering what happened, I am definitely “fine” but have been very busy with studies. I am currently taking up Masters in Business Administration. [...]

Dream Come True: First time to use a professional sewing machine and now learning from a Master Cutter-Tailor

"Cosplayer Czari Flores - using professional juki sewing machine - costume cosplay for goo hara from kara music video we're with you - pink cheerleader"

They say that when the student is ready, the master will appear. For many months now, I have been creating my costumes on my own, by guessing how to make patterns, cutting textiles, and doing the sewing all by hand. I did buy a beginner’s sewing machine before, but at the end of the day [...]
