My First Commissioned Artwork: Wedding Signage

Before I proceed to my first commissioned artwork, I would like to share you first how I turned my arts and crafts hobby into a little business.

It all started when I decided to re-sell cute stuffs and created my online shop. As part of the business, you'll need social media to market your products and gain customers so I created a Facebook page and an Instagram account that was named as Cute Warrior PH. Other than posting my products and adding too much hashtags in the description, it was also the time I started to browse more products on Instagram. From there, I saw many D.I.Y. stuffs that is so cute! One of it was the handmade phone pouch made of felt cloth. I love to explore and try new stuffs until I saw a post about calligraphy and painting. I love making arts since I was a kid but didn't mind it that much as it was just a past time whenever I'm bored and have nothing to do. I practiced almost everyday and then I saw some people selling stuffs with calligraphy on it. I dreamed to be like them one day when I'm already confident with my work/s. Until one day, a friend of mine approached me and told me that on her wedding day, I will be the one who will work on her wedding signage - and I did!

Excitement is what I felt before my friend gave me the woods where I've written the calligraphy. I've also done wedding signage on board for their wedding.

The Groom's and Bride's signage...


And also, signage for the Seating plan, Giveaways and Quote...
Their wedding was done at church, while their reception was done at the beach! And it's so awesome! <3

Here are some photos that I've captured behind-the-scenes...
