So if your mum is a gormet, is she the one who taught you how to use knives?

Throwing knives no, I had to get someone else to teach me that. But I do know more about the finer techniques of chopping, peeling and gutting than I’ll probably ever need! One doesn’t forget mama’s training regiment easily *shivers*

TECHNOTEAPOT: A Gothic and Steampunk Tea Party (Day Three)

SPIDERSILK PRODUCTIONS consist of these three beautiful and talented arachnids named Maku Felix, Isobel Fransico, Dione D'Souza. They recently held their first ever art exhibit in LRI Design Plaza, Makati City last December 8-10. Their theme in their exhibit was quite unique -- gothic steampunk tea party (LOVE IT ♡). I love how they decorated the place -- there were cobwebs, gothic inspired table cloths, machine parts, chalices, silverware, and teapots! :D

My fiance and I attended on the last day. I also read two of my poems there. ^^; (Ohohohoho ~ ! ;D) My close friend, Maku, told me that were can read our poems while sitting on the sofa. So I sat but the other readers didn't. Huhu! >:

Hello there, Ms. Half-bodied Mannequin! XD

Spidersilk Productions' art works were INCREDIBLE! I believe that other people would also tell you that those art works are made out of hard work and passion. Here are some of their masterpieces.

I can't wait 'til next year for their next art exhibit. ^^ I know that these ladies will surely shine much brighter for the next years to come. P.S. I forgot to say thank you to the wonderful Dokissaten Maid and Butler Café for their excellent service. I love seeing all of your staff members (they all look so GOOD). ^^

Paintings I Made for TECHNOTEAPOT: A Gothic and Steampunk Tea Party

01: How Young Is Too Young? 02: Hanging by the Red Thread 03: Flesh is the Law. 04: White for Poison, Black for Purity 05: Caught a Lite Sneeze 06: "Lifebinder, preserve me." 07: Bachelorette

Hi guys, here's a preview of each of my paintings when SPIDERSILK PRODUCTIONS organized our very first exhibit TECHNOTEAPOT: A Gothic and Steampunk Tea Party. We just officially closed our gallery this evening, and we're so happy to have had a much bigger turnout than we expected, and how so many people took the time to brave the weather and traffic to support us. 

I'm also personally glad that there were people (especially complete strangers) who expressed interest in my works as much as those of my fellow Arachnids Dione and Maku. But I couldn't push for any sale in the end because:

The print outcome of my works was pretty bad, as this was my first time painting with the intent of production. I'll look for another print company more suited to my works, and then actually frame them so that they'll at least look accurate and presentable in real life.

This is my first time being part of an exhibit, and my first time painting on scales larger than web resolutions on 150+ dpi. I feel like I've only dipped my toe into the wading pool, and I'll be more comfortable giving/selling my works when I'm in deeper waters. If I can't give my "best" work, then I'll wait for the time when I believe I've become better at this.

During TECHNOTEAPOT, we were invited to present some of our works at a collective exhibit in January. Deadline's on December 16, and I want to come up with something new for this. Wish me luck!

TECHNOTEAPOT is only the beginning. We hope to come up with another themed exhibit early next year, and invite more artists and groups of various specialties to share the space and support. This experience has given me the pleasure of meeting people with so much talent in different fields, but merely lack the exposure. Dokissaten, Royale House, Ravencage Studios: I'm looking at you. Here's to hoping we grow better and stronger together! :)

Till next exhibit! To everyone who has been part of it in the smallest way: Thank you!

PS. I snuck in a Dune reference somewhere in this post. ;D
