Home made Tapsilog (tapa, sinangag, itlog) for my guys today. These dudes have no idea how good they have it sometimes 😂 #filipinofood #tapsilog #kalurky #yum (at Rancho Penasquitos Canyon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1cJ8IQHNoS/?igshid=1mbaqbalmyyy2
Miss Arya keeps me company while I work. I'm doing a logo commission right now and she's herding all her toys next to my desk. Baby piranha 🦈 is 11 months old as of yesterday, but still has her puppy party hat ears. We tried correcting them but it was a bit late and she kept scratching the inserts out. Oh well, it's just part of her personality now 🎉 🐶 #love (at Rancho Penasquitos Canyon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1SWLBwHrDb/?igshid=j63ag6mjbgpy
OMG. It's official. I am a UCSD Triton! I'll be enrolled in 16 units (4 classes) at the end of September 😍😍🤪😜 Note: I was waiting on my transcripts to be verified. They finally are. It was the only thing I was waiting on because my financial aid, grants, and loans are already in order. #ucsd #ucsdvisarts #Triton2021 #triton #SanDiego #socallife #excited (at Rancho Peñasquitos, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1ICkODnLxD/?igshid=1bb0amxezlgwx
My best friend of almost 30 years celebrated a birthday a few days ago, so in anticipation of her special day I went hunting for her birthstone gem, the lovely green peridot. I found some genuine peridot chips that I accented with Swarovski crystals and sterling silver, and strung them together to make a pair of earrings that I hoped would compliment the ring and bracelet her parents and boyfriend gifted her. The silver and green lampwork bead was one of the three I had left from my last jewelry making excursion almost 4 years ago. I can't find anymore of them, and I'm not sure who the artist was (I found them in a destashing bargain on Etsy) but they were perfect. She says she loves them. That made me happy because she's my best friend and my #1 gal. She deserves everything good in this world ❤️ #ooak #birthday #jewelry #lilyandkoi #handmade #love (at Rancho Peñasquitos, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1DACMpHKTB/?igshid=1cc3e5f8xn7br
Story time. Yesterday would have been my parent's 49th wedding anniversary, had my father been around to celebrate it. When I was 19 my father pushed Jerry and I to marry sooner rather than later. I wanted a Valentine's Day wedding in 1994, but my father said he loathed the idea of his oldest daughter living in sin, so he said marry now and plan the big wedding later. The day he said that was his and mom's anniversary. I didn't want the day after, because it was Mama's birthday. So we chose to go the next day, which was July 28. Now about Mama. Never Lola. Always Mama to us grandkids, Mama Feling to everyone else. She was my mom's mom. Pastora Corazon Mendoza Icasiano, who was born this day in 1907. She would be 112 today, had she lived. She passed in December 1972 at the age of 65, 9.5 months before I was born. I'm 💯 sure I was the consolation baby because I was born exactly 9 months to the day of the funeral. 🤔 From everything I've heard among my older maternal cousins and family (I was the youngest until my baby sister came along), Mama was wonderful. I like to think that she lived on in all of us, through our arts & crafts, sewing, our love of cooking and sharing, and our penchant for altruism, because Mama was just that kind of person. And I like to say she inspired this line in the song Surrender by Cheap Trick. 🎶 Father says, "Your Mother's right, she's really up in things. Before we married, Mommy served in the WACs in the Philippines. Now I have heard the WACs recruited old maids for the war. But Mommy isn't one of those, I've known her all these years." 🎶 Also, my older brother Richard was her favourite grandchild, among the many. She loved them all equally, but Richard was her special baby because he was Mom's. Mom often muses that I'm her reincarnation sent back to stay with her and help take care of her as she grows older. She says sometimes I exhibit little quirks that remind her of Mama. Dad often said the same. I take it as a high compliment. I realize I do take after Mama in arts, crafts, sewing, volunteering, cooking for crowds, etc. At least I know where my need to create must come from in the gene pool. HBD Mama 😘😍❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B0bkBsVnDDs/?igshid=j1q6vkadpl1s
I've made 82 pairs of various earrings. All of them using a combination of sterling silver, lampwork beads, genuine coral, jasper, turquoise, or other semi precious stones, freshwater pearls, and real Swarovski crystals. Most of them are simple, pretty spring/summer dangles like the tiny floral ones at the bottom, and the most elaborate ones so far are the Calaveras you see on the card, on sterling silver filled leverbacks. Next week my display cases arrive, and each one holds 96. So I still have a lot of work ahead of me, to the tune of 110 more pairs. I haven't even begun the process of photographing them. I may skip that, and only work on that for the pairs I plan to stock in my @amazonhandmade shop. I'm out of earring hooks right now though, and I'm forced to wait until my shipment comes in. It's a good thing I've got the patience of Mother Teresa 😊😂 #ArtByJenniferLove #artist #handmade #earrings #lilyandkoi (at Rancho Peñasquitos, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0Xq6Y2HsJz/?igshid=1y2c1vocsr0h
It's been a couple of years since I've done this, so I'm rusty and slow since my eyes are older and my hands aren't as used to gripping jewelry pliers for hours at a time. But this is a small labour of love, and a redemption of sorts; a means to find my way back to creating small wearable pieces. Lily & Koi is what I decided to name my tiny line. I didn't want to make it after myself like the first round. In fact I'll be revamping my @Amazon handmade store if I decide to continue with them. Every part of this creating this line has been 99% me, down to the earring cards. The only thing I outsourced was the creating of the vector image of the lily and koi from a drawing I made, and @romeicasiano brilliantly rendered it like a pro. Of course I bought the materials, but no one told me what to pick this time around. My inspirations for this are colours that make me smile and mean something to me. Marauder blue and gold, Sundevil scarlet and gold, mermaid coral and turquoise blue of the southern Pacific ocean, with highlights of seafoam green. Southwestern red, white, turquoise with steel grey. Desert sand and California golden poppy orange, or ice plant violet. And I named it Lily & Koi because those two have been my artistic go-to forms in the years since switching from being an Anatomy major (sorry, Dr. @kevin.petti) to returning to my first ambition. Thank you for the continued love and support for what I do. Your positive comments keep me working harder. ❤️ (at Rancho Peñasquitos, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0NOivInvKK/?igshid=14m5k1j24a7z6
Finalizing my test prints and making some minor changes. These are earring cards for a display in a consignment shop. It's coming together and I'm really happy with the logo and concept. @romeicasiano helped me with creating the vector and I'm doing the printing and design myself. It's been a slow work in progress but I'm extra critical of myself so I've moved at a languid pace. I needed to feel at peace with this process because the last time I did jewelry, I worked with representation that was very negative and really affected my love and desire for creating pieces. This time it's 100% me, and it's brought me to a place where I feel calm and zen. This whole thing of healing and being cathartic, I'm there.

It's been awhile and I've been silent on the art front. I know it, and I need to shake the rust off of me. So here's a tiny shot of a concept I'm scribbling out that I plan to make into a vector file to be the logo of my tiny, fledgling jewelry line. My Handmade art Amazon shop has been doing surprisingly well, but I haven't updated it since launch. I know I need a theme for my store, so I'll be revamping it within the next couple of days/weeks. I'm over the Rococo phase and style. I'm looking towards something much more simple and minimalistic. I'm preparing to put everything in hold once I start University in September. The only art I'll be making this first quarter is stuff I need to have for grading. I'll start working on personal projects and commissions again once I'm comfortable with balancing the writing courses with the rest of my requirements. So in the next 8 weeks I need to restock my shop and redo the line I have in a local consignment shop, and try to squeeze in a box mural in the mix. If you're still following this, I appreciate the love. I'll be posting more soon, I promise. I've just been cleaning up a lot of things I've been hiding in storage, and in reality, it's just not interesting; so I won't even bother trying to make that process look like I'm having a great time 😂😜 #sketches #conceptart #artbyjenniferlove #LilyAndKoi (at Rancho Peñasquitos, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz9fHorHGDS/?igshid=10ii5mw9j3os8
Going to play billiards with my team tonight and I'm wearing this cute dress I bought at H&M with my girl @abbylove0808, complete with black nylons and combat boots. It's a mood. (at Rancho Peñasquitos, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzt7vQ-AX1D/?igshid=1euhm8eezoir3

Lemon blueberry bundt cake. Nailed it! Pretend you don't see that tiny slice removed on the right. We had to test it for quality control purposes. 😉😁👍😋🤤 But it's got a light crumb, yet moist (that word! Haha) and dense, and rich with fresh blueberries and lemon zest. No frosting needed. It's delicious. I savoured the small bite I had. I'm sure by the time I return home later after I go out with @abbylove0808 that it'll be gone, but that's all the more reason to buy more blueberries and bake another one. #bake #cake #yummy #nailedit (at Rancho Peñasquitos, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/artbyjenniferlove/p/BzD6jc2AKqV/?igshid=eiee6ptxo78q
If I keep my sewing notions and supplies in my original 1990 #Caboodles makeup kit and a shoebox instead of a Danish butter cookies tin, am I losing middle aged Filipina mom street cred? #kalurky #pinay #justfilipinothings #sewing #showerthoughts #funny #funnymemes #messy #storage #loca (at Rancho Peñasquitos, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/artbyjenniferlove/p/By_mpvCAk5o/?igshid=1qxujeast61ue
Back in 1972 my father, director Alberto Guinto, Jr. was in the production stages for a film he wrote, starring my mother, Stella Suarez, as one of two lead actresses opposite of lead actors Eddie Garcia, Dante Rivera, and Dindo Fernandez. The movie title was 100 Days In September. I was born in late 1973. Filming began in early 1974. Eddie Garcia and Dante Rivera were invited to my baptism and became my Godfathers, along with famed OPM composer George Canseco. Today, Ninong Eddie passed away from complications after a fall on set two weeks ago, in which he broke his cervical spine. He was 90. I wasn't close to him, having grown up in the USA, but I'm still sad to hear of his passing. He died doing what he was so passionate about, and lived a life worth celebrating. Go in peace, Ninong Eddie. https://www.instagram.com/artbyjenniferlove/p/By9BUdCgsId/?igshid=109lt5yzkh5jz
I should be painting, but I decided to try and upcycle some old skirts that didn't fit the way I wanted them to anymore. I'm not much of a seamstress, but I'm decent enough with a sewing machine that I can make something not too awful. The serger really helps with cleaning the edges of the knit garments though. This is going to be a caged miniskirt with suspenders. Well, I'm hoping it will be 😂🤞😁 (at Rancho Peñasquitos, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/artbyjenniferlove/p/By6wJKegbbn/?igshid=ww5le9vwfoz5
Catching up on all my sewing and alteration projects before going back to painting. I'm also substitute teaching this weekend for an art class. Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked 😍😘❤️ Grateful for the opportunity and humbled that I was asked to do this.

Seven years ago, my father died. It's a memory I try and avoid, on a day I loathe to remember. It was, to this day, the most difficult event I have ever experienced, and it came about in such a horrific and tragic way. I do not look forward to the days between June 5 and June 8. However, last year an event happened that added new elements to the memory associated with this day: my brother @richardgomezinstagram, my sister-in-love @lucytgomez, and my darling niece @gomezjuliana arrived in San Diego on a very short visit in between other engagements here in the USA. Their arrival punctuated what had been the worst event of our lives and changed the trajectory of this memory going forward. ❤️ Here's a few snapshots of the 3 days they were here. Admittedly I don't have many pictures. I wasn't continually snapping on my phone. I was living right there in the moment, basking in the glow that radiated from my mother, for she was positively luminous on those days. If I could share the pictures and videos my brain made of these days, I would, for they are glorious. My boys seeing their cousin for the first time, as well as reconnecting with their uncle and aunt, the light and funny conversation between Lucy and Jer in which she mentioned that his looks remind her of her Tito Nick (and that could explain why our children could pass as siblings, since my brother and I share some similarities and our spouses look like they could be related), and the intense chat my brother and I shared about his plans and my plans to pursue higher degrees in academia - - - it was a beautiful visit, albeit brief. I can't believe it's been a year since they were here. I can't believe it's been seven years since my father shuffled off his mortal coil. Time is fleeting. There are never enough photos, but memories will live on as long as there are people to write about them. Also in these photos are: @romeicasiano @candrenlycosa09 @karen.unabashed @piacampos #family #love #life (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/artbyjenniferlove/p/ByVj-ZIgP5w/?igshid=uqarmurl1eri
