My Creative Works

I love combining my skills. In this particular project of mine, I made pendants by painting flowers, abstracts, and tree on cotton watercolor paper. I then added the paintings in bezels with glass domes to make necklaces that are handmade and love and unique. You can buy these pendants at my Shopee store.

My watercolor portraits as of January 2021. 🙂

starry night sky in watercolor and Aries — My watercolor painting of constellation – Aries and the starry night sky.

watercolor portrait of James, my nephew — This is my latest portrait – my nephew James.

watercolor portrait of Sean Connery — My mentor for this portrait of Sean said these words about my painting:
“I like this painting Grass because it’s one of those paintings that makes one wonder if it’s finished or not. It looks done to me but I know of artists who use the same technique.”
I was happy but behind the scene, I got hungry during the class, took a break from finishing the shirt details, and ate some cheesecake.
Ehhhh, so then it’s finished.
And so I ate more cheesecakes.

watercolor portrait of a baby girl — This is my first baby portrait under mentorship by Jc Vargas. I used the primary colors red, blue, and yellow watercolors to paint this one and I must say that I love how this one turned out. 🙂 Can’t wait to do more portraits soon!

My first batch of portraits – obviously a newbie’s work. 🙂

Pamunda Island in watercolor — Pamunda Island, Tanzania: limestone islands and boats.

My watercolor and gouache pieces from September to October 2020. 🙂

I'm Grass — Hey, everyone! It’s me, Grass. 🙂 I recently discovered watercolor! So from here on out, I will also be posting my paintings here alongside my latest jewelry creations. Thank you for following this blog. Cheers!

thefabulousscientist_earrings — These mother of pearl heart beads have been seating on my stash for years. My previous designs using these beads have been simple and unremarkable, tbh. I wanted to ramp the design a bit by adding more bead elements and taking advantage of the circular hollow. This is my best pair of heart-shaped earrings yet, if I may say so myself. 🤩😅
I am definitely loving the turquoise blue and yellow colors for this pair because I am reminded of a summer day spent on the beach. So I am naming this piece, Sola.

My hands are sore from making them but I’m happy I was able to finish eight despite the poor light (power outage now) and the dismal overcast sky outside my window. I made these bracelets using gemstone chips and round beads, a few of them are faceted. I decided to go bold when combining colors instead of using complimentary ones for this project. Each bracelet is 2-layered. If you are the free-spirited type who likes happy colors but at the same wishing for sophisticated look, these bracelets are for you. Semi-precious gemstones used for this project are: sodalite, carnelian, turquoise, tourmelated quartz, picture jasper, jade, citrine quartz, ocean jasper, African yellow jade, amethyst, tiger’s eyes, alexandrite, and cherry quartz. They are available soon at my Shopeee store: Shopee.ph/kitsandcaboodles #sodalite #carnelian #turquoise #tourmelatedquartz #picturejasper #jade #citrinequartz #oceanjasper #africanyellowjade #alexandrite #cherryquartz #tigerseyes #memorybracelets #thefabulousscientistcreations #handmadebygrass #handcrafted #igersmanila #supportlocal #bohochic #colorfulmorning #goodmorningpost #beads #amethyst #gemstones #millefiori #kitsandcaboodles #semipreciousgemstones #DIYbracelets #projectbracelet #resinpendant8

thefabulousscientist_hoopearrings — Perk up your attire with this ensemble of hoop earrings!
I had fun assembling each pair using gemstone chips, pearls, acrylic, shell, and wooden beads. The trick was getting all the elements mixed together without overpowering the main bead. Summer may be over ladies but these candy-colored earrings sure are designed for everyday use, rain or shine!

This chunky resin ring is a prototype and thus, is not for sale. I was looking for a nice background and realized I have a nice selenite crystal I got from a local mining company. I just added the belemnite fossil for contrast.

Did you know I used a bottle’s plastic seal for the ring? If you’ve been following me a long time you would know how much I like upcycling “trash” to jewelry pieces. I picked up the flowers off the ground at our condo, seemingly thrown out from a window, on the day of my dad’s 40th (since he died). This is the 2nd reason why I am not selling this piece.

I miss you dad. Thank you for this flower.
