First Ever Babalisme Watercolor Workshop at Bandung

Workshop details update!!! Please head to @refinery_id for more info and registration! #instaart #illustagram #illustrated #illustration #instagram #picoftheday #photooftheday #potd #handmade #diy #draw #design #love #madeinindonesia #workshop #watercolor

On 30-31st July, last week, babalisme and refinery.id just hosted a watercolor workshop! I'm so excited, it's my first formal class! We decided on floral theme because it's highly demanded, and it's appropriate for both beginners and advanced painters. To make it more interesting, we're making a flower wreath, specifically! 

I was overwhelmed with joy and bewilderment too, frankly, when just in a matter of minutes of the announcement going online, the seats went fully booked. Originally, we were set only on one date. We have to open up a second class due to high demand! I don't know how I feel, mostly amazement and gratitude, but also terrified. I was expecting a slower seat filling, I even thought that the class won't be fully booked and we would have a smaller more intimate class where I won't even have to leave my seat and speak with my daily talking volume. But it turned out huge!! What will this class become? What if I fail such enthusiasm, not being able to deliver what the class had expected?   

Fortunately, all of the participants were so lovely and endearing, they were great listeners and students, they embraced my flaws, they laughed and they had fun! That's the most important thing! We had actual fun! I'm glad to know there are even a teacher, a doctor, mothers, a dress designer, young uns, and even men among the class! Men are such a rarity in a female driven subject such as flower wreaths... but well technically, there was one man, because the other was a young man, persuaded if not dragged along by his mom who is also joining the class. :D  

What matters most is WE HAD FUN! I had fun, and I saw smiling faces and I hear laughter. We made new friends, we greeted our old acquaintances who unexpectedly know each other, and we came home as happy as we can be. Thank you all! 

Here are some snapshots of the days and some of the participants' results! 

Thank you all who had joined @babalisme watercolor workshop with @refinery_id !!! You're the best ever!! Huge thanks for @ourcactus @brown_id @refinery_id  @madeiracookies @glosisresto @chiayo.id #workshopindonesia #class #watercolor #paint #diy #handmade

Happy Eid Essentials Printable

Ramadan month is closing in and Eid ul-Fitr will finally come! This calls for a big celebration! So in honor for the Eid, here is your free Eid essentials printable. If you're not familiar with Eid celebration and wonder what are those things I drew front and center, they are "ketupats". Ketupats to Ied is as turkeys to Thanksgiving for most Indonesians. They are basically dumpling-like rice cakes, carefully molded inside a diamond shaped container that is woven palm leaves. Impressive, huh? As with turkeys, we eat ketupats with gravy-like "opor" and other seasonal holiday dishes.

Included in the page is :

1 one-sided card, could be use as a tag, or if you're feeling crafty, you can make money envelopes. 
2 straw flags for your drinking straws
3 circles for cupcake toppers and gift tags 

Not included is the patterned paper I used to line the envelope :( I'm running out of drive space here. But if you'd like it, I'll share in another post!

Daily Menu Planner Free Printable

I am so much unaware of the planner business hitting the crafting world alike. It seems so sudden (at least to me) and a little bit overshadows the scrapbooking world. Now don't laugh at me just yet, of course, I do aware of a planner. I had it since junior high, filled with magazines cutouts of boyband members, among my daily homeworks, and preteen typical doodles and quotes (you know, how my name sounds followed by a crush's last name .. and cheesy love songs lyrics).

But since when does it become associated with washi tapes?? Washi tapes have a celebrity status in the crafting world since like 6 years ago, and oh my, cute leather covers! Extra charms! Specialty stickers! Colorful pens and markers! And most of all, cute notebooks and inserts! Of course, not too mention the amazing community! I'm really thrilled and excited!

menu plan daily



I promised you a printable insert, right? So after lurking around and doing some research (drooling on people's hobonichi, midori, foxydori...), I present to you an A5 inserts for your planner. And it's not just another plain inserts, it's a menu plan!! Mothers and home cooks rejoice! It's really hard to plan a meal everyday if you know what I mean, and I hope to help you plan and list in style.

babalisme free A5 planner inserts daily menu plan

I designed it in A5 size. That's half of a letter/A4 paper and fits to most planner, especially the hobonichi cousin. It is layouted on an A4 paper so everytime you print, you'll get 2 pages of inserts, you may cut it in half or you may not. It's up to your planner. Print on both sides of paper if needed. A little warning I'm new to this planning activity, so you may find this inserts unsuitable or could use an extra imporvement, please let me know!

There you go, have fun with it. Please upload and share your planner and babalisme's insert on Facebook, instagram, or twitter! Tag me @babalisme! 

Hope you all like it and welcome me in the planner community! 
Listers gonna list! Planners gonna plan! 

ps. Babalisme webstore will open this month so please stay tune and expect a mega giveaway to go with it!!! Yay!

June Printable Month 2015

Happy June everyone!! Welcome to Babalisme's annual June Printable Month! If you're new here, it means I'm going to share loads of FREE printables during this month, you may even request the theme or what printable do you need!

And no, I'm not hiding under a rock, so I see that planning has taken over the craft world lately, it might somehow push scrapbooking aside for awhile :) I know because some of scrapbooking blogs I follow are slowly shifting to planning. It's a huge phenomenon! So what do you think? Does anyone need any planner inserts ;) ? I'm no planner expert so all suggestion is highly appreciated. 

For the mean time, here's Super Mario photo props we're talking about last post. Have fun!

Ps. June Giveaway is coming your way too! Keep your eyes peeled, but not literally, that would be scary!

Super Mario Party

I love everything about old school gaming. Those pixels basically sums up my childhood in the 90s. And who reigns icon of retro gaming other than the ol' Mario himself! *insert Super Mario Bros. opening theme* 

Kids know Mario and friends from Wii's version of Mario's Kart, Super Smash Bros., and even the newest version of Super Mario, but for an old timer like me, nothing beats the original, not that I don't enjoy the new one. But the 80s and 90s Mario is so nostalgic!  And more hard to beat. 

IMG_1198

So today's party is tailored for a 10 year old birthday boy. Here is the goodie bag! I made the printable coins for treasure hunting game, chocolate bar wrapped in printable Mario and Luigi's face, printable trademark question mark box filled with gold coins (duh, of course!), a cookie cup disguised as piranha plant's pipe, and a scratch off tickets to win some prizes! 

IMG_1199

I also did some stickers by hand using store bought circle stickers sheet, it was so much fun (and affordable too). Big Sis G got to color the stickers and she's doing a great job as you can see here.   

IMG_1209

I also did some background for photo booth. And of course it's almost mandatory for today's party to have some photo props.

Here they are in action!

Not pictured here is a home made piranha plant pinata, he's got down really bad in no time :) 

Do you need any Mario themed photo props? Should I share the printables here?
