Spoon and Fork

And so, here I am making earrings of spoons and forks.




In Quiapo, I fell in love with these cute, little charms and hoarded bunches and bunches of them: spoons, forks, cats, dogs, suns, moons, seashells, fishes. With just a pair of pliers, I started weaving earrings while watching John Cusack drive through yawning cracks of earth, chase an airplane with the map to salvation, and finally, get his son to be the hero in this apocalyptic saga.

It would have been a terribly stressful experience had it not been for my cute charms and trusty pair of pliers. I ended up making dozens in one sitting and thought of selling them in my daughter's online shop.



But before I had even photographed them, E said, "I'll buy from you, Ma. Gifts for my customers this Christmas!" Wow! I feel so accomplished. I have an order for 25 pairs! Bwahahaha
