For the past few months, we were busy making jewelry boxes made from capiz shells because of some orders from the US. I also had a friend from Bacoor, Cavite order some of these to use as a prize token for his blog contest.
These are quite difficult to make. The planning stage took us almost a month because my family and relatives who work on these can’t seem to figure out what I want to see in the jewelry boxes. LOL. I’m very meticulous when it comes to creating handicraft but I’d rather do the talking and instructing rather than doing all the work although I know how to do each of the process involved in capiz production.
I’ve made chandeliers as well. In fact, we’ve produced the body already but I still haven’t figured out how to work on the top part. Because I am currently studying, budget and time constraints are hindering me from finishing them.
Jaypee David took pictures of two of the jewelry boxes we’ve finished so far. If you’re interested, contact us by sending us an e-mail. Click the following link to visit our Capiz de Filipinas Facebook Like page.
