How did you find CO+K and why did you join?
I found CO+K because I really wanted somewhere to find great craft tutorials & share my own. I was trying to find some crafting groups near me in Manila, Philippines when I stumbled onto CO+K & it provided a community & awesome craft business - you guys fit the bill perfectly!
What projects are you currently working on?
Currently - I'm working on starting some baking projects. French Macaroons & those burger cupcakes are in my near future!

What does your craft space look like?
Oh dear hahah My craft space looks like if a bomb went off in the middle of hurricane and an indestructible, over-caffeinated toddler tore through my desk. I have a very limited amount of space, but I try to make the most of it & try try try to keep it tidy (I usually end up working on the floor if the project is big haha). I have a separate craft space for spray painting where I can set up canvas or spray right on the wall. Photos are attached :P
Which tool or craft supply do you use the most?
Jewelry Pliers - definitely jewelry pliers! I have three - one for heavy duty stuff, another one for general use & wire cutting, a third one for shaping.
What do you craft along to?
I tend to watch horror movies, I don't know why but the adrenaline really gets my craft juices pumping! Any horror movie will do, even the ones with really corny effects!
Miki's Most Popular Projects
Favorite Craft
LOVE making ear cuffs and collar chains! I wear them daily as part of my uniform for Uni. It's perfect as a small way of self-expressing in a rather rigid environment that limits self expression. Plus they make great gifts!
Miki's Top Crafts
If you could learn one new craft or make anything, what would it be?
Crocheting! For sure crocheting! I have seen some SERIOUSLY cute stuff done & would love to get in on it!
Also working with resin! It would open a ton of doors for jewelry making <3
Who are your crafting heroes?
I have many! I'll just name a few! I Kristen from Studs & Pearls (she makes me swoon!) AND Grace Atwood from Stripes & Sequins! Both girls are amazing DIY bloggers & I love checking out their blogs a lot since I usually can't afford new wardrobes but get bored of mine very quickly - they have TONS of amazing ideas to spruce up & DIY They have the best style! I sometimes wish I could live in their closets ^__^
Mousey's Favorite Projects
1. Tiny Bottle 'Stardust' Earrings - I loved these so much that I had to search high & low for the tiny bottles so I could make tons for myself & my friends! I love how cute and tiny they are & you can fill them with anything! (more or less anyway haha) 2. Cute & simple owl plushies - Everyone loves owls! I find that these make the sweetest additions to gift cards or name cards when it's time to do some gift giving. 3. Cheeseburger Cupcakes - GENIUS! I mean, cheeseburgers... that are cupcakes! Amazing. I haven't done it yet - but it's definitely on my to-do list!
