  • How To Make Resin Toys Video 1: Sculpey

    Today we will make a “lump” so we can easily learn how to make a Glove Mold and cast a resin toy. Sculpey polymer clay is a good choice because you can fire it at home in your oven, and silicone rubber does not stick to Sculpey, so you won’t need release spray.

    Fun with gravity.

  • Our visit to Parks & Wildlife

    We paid admission, walked through the gate, and a giant clap of thunder started the hardest rain I’ve seen since arriving in Quezon City, Philippines. We stood under a tarp and ate hamburgers and went home wet.

  • Walk through of Batasan

    We went out into our neighborhood in Batasan to buy some roasted chicken for lunch. This is our walk home. I love all the interesting stuff in the neighborhoods here. I like to see the people, how they live and work, as well as the animals, like chickens, dogs, cats. So much texture, mixes of old and new, and amazing fruit colors.

  • Batasan Kitty

    This is our neighborhood in Batasan Hills in Quezon City, Philippines. Check out how the intersection does not have a traffic light. Every man for himself. We cross this intersection everyday to go out for various needs. No one really wants to stop for anyone else, so it’s a game of chicken. If any place needs a stop light, it’s this busy intersection. Even the kitty knows this is insane. She told me so.

  • Buko

    Today we harvest the coconuts from our tree.

  • Leaving La Laguna

    On our way home to Quezon City from Puerto Galera, Philippines.

  • Jeepney ride to Shopwise grocery store

    The tricycle cannot drive on Commonwealth freeway, so we hop onto a Jeepney for the last minute of our trip to the grocery store. So much fun. Jeepneys are an amazing form of public art. Each one is uniquely painted by the owner. Did I mention that I LOVE it here?
