Are you ready to meet our very special guest designer for October? Not only is he one of the youngest guests we have ever had, but he also joins the ranks as one of the most talented (and rare) males Prima Guest Designers! Let's give a special welcome to Charllie G!
Hi, my dear, cool and absolutely amazing Prima gods and goddesses! My name is Charlemagne G. Gargalicano (A.K.A Shimmerlyscrappy) and I'm here to spread shimmer in the Land of Prima. I live in Bacolod, Philippines, the city of smiles and the capitol of Negros. I've been living my whole life single (you know stuff, LOL). Together with me is my loving Mom and my adorably annoying sister, Angel (I love her so much.) I'm 19 years old and art is my passion. Yes, I love to draw, but my skills extended when I discovered scrapbooking. Most of my works are inspired by enchanted realms, child's play, and color. I love to do things out of the box, weird or Anti-Scrapbook.(that's just what I call it). People often ask me why my works always have shimmer (why not??) Glitter hides mistakes; it's fun and quirky! Calligraphy is also one of my sub genres of art. It gives meaning and beauty to my works. Lastly, I'm a college student, currently studying Digital Media Arts. My studies have taken me away from crafting for a little while, but it helps me explore art in different and fun ways. You can visit me on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/
"The Masskara Festival is a festival held each year in Bacolod, Philippines. It is held every third weekend of October, or on the closest weekend to October 19.The festival features a street dance competition where people from all walks of life troop to the streets to see colorfully masked dancers perform to the rhythm of Latin musical beats in a display of mastery, gaiety, coordination, and stamina. Major activities include the MassKara Queen beauty pageant, carnivals, drum and bugle corps competitions, food festivals, sports events, musical concerts, agriculture-trade fairs, garden shows, and other special events organized ad-hoc every year." (For more information, you can read the entire post about the MassKara Festival here)
"Details of Pearl" -here I added a cheap key chain doll which I altered, repainted it, change her hairstyle, and added pearls and flowers. (The Ruffles you see in her neck are Prima ruffled flowers)
