Occasion: Cowl Making Workshop with Balqis & Moss Fest 2023

In July, I bought an invitation from Mossery to attend their occasion (Moss Fest 2023) + be part of one among their out there workshops throughout the 3-day occasion. Sure, that Mossery. 

I defined to Sofi the night time earlier than that I needed to ‘work’ on that Saturday, additionally reminded her a number of instances that morning, she stored on discovering me in my room or kitchen whereas I used to be preparing, simply to provide me a protracted hug (*5 instances to be actual) as a result of I used to be leaving her with AF that day.

Let me make clear first, I requested my sister whether or not she wished to hitch the occasion and he or she stated sure *not as a driver, however as a participant. So, assuming she wished to tag alongside to go to the occasion, I did not take the prepare trip lah. However, she did not even go to the occasion afterward. She went to observe Oppenheimer in Paradigm Mall with Is whereas ready for me to complete the two 1/2 hrs workshop. Then we had lunch and he or she despatched me again residence. Like I used to be a teenage lady needing a trip to go to a tuition class :F

We had been an hour early so we had breakfast at Broom, simply subsequent to the occasion place. Learn the Broom’s publish right here.

I registered for the occasion, obtained the particular present bag, and was launched to the Mossery’s founder. Then I joined the workshop and met Balqis.

I selected a Cowl-making workshop utilizing cyanotype printing by Balqis or @studiosunprint. It has been some time since I did one thing new, so the workshop was a lot enjoyable. I discovered about cyanotype printing, did 2 checks on paper, and later did the artwork for the duvet. 

I deliberately wished simply leaves on my cowl (I want there have been petals too, however there have been none from the tray), and in addition I wished it to be a bit darker so I uncovered it to the solar for an additional minute. Composition-wise, I wished the entrance cowl to be much less cluttered whereas the again cowl exhibits some personalities (similar to me, what you see from the surface would not essentially resemble what I really feel on the within). Plus, lots of dots that I created from talcum powders.

Right here is my Mossery cowl: 

Stunning.

I have been utilizing the Mossery yearly planner for a month since I bought it (ending this publish in Sept). This is the catch, I bought the 2023 planner on the finish of July, which suggests greater than half of the planner has already handed and I can solely use the scheduled planner from Aug – Dec. However, I’ll use this planner as a lot as I can as a result of I do not need to waste it.

My plan is to make use of half of the sooner a part of the guide with journaling/writing and one other half as a scheduled planner (contemplating I began working full-time once more in Aug, kan). I ended journaling on bodily books some time again and it feels odd to begin writing once more. However previous habits die exhausting. 

The duvet won’t final so long as the opposite covers Mossery sells as a result of it has no lamination and it has been dunked within the chemical answer and water after we made the duvet. I also can see some white tiny feathered edges already. However that is okay.

I additionally obtained a present bag price *RM 250 consisting of their 2023 Yr Planner, Mossery cowl illustrated by Angela Pan, Life in Progress booklet, artprints x 2 by Sibylline Meynet, greeting card by Liunic, Mossery planner stickers x 2, in a Mossery pouch bag. I purchased a second-chance model of Mossery’s undated planner for subsequent yr (30% off).
