casa juan ibon collection illustrations and design by cynthia bauzon arre

Local homeware brand Casa Juan MNL commissioned me to illustrate and design the “Ibon” collection. As with our previous project (see “Bulaklak” collection), Casa Juan’s Ms. Michelle Fontelera gave me total freedom to come up with a list of Philippine endemic birds to showcase. Because of how well their colors work well together in a set, I ended up choosing the Cinnamon Ibon (Hypocryptadius cinnamomeus), Red-eared Parrotfinch (Erythrura coloria), Blue-headed Fantail (Rhipidura cyaniceps), Palawan Flowerpecker (Prionochilus plateni).

For a natural and accurate depiction, I consulted bird expert Ms. Trinket Constantino of ADMU’s Department of Biology and member of the Wild Bird Club of the Philippines regarding Philippine native trees that the featured birds normally perch on. She identified some and provided me with a short list which I then chose from and made artistic interpretations of alongside their “partner” bird species. (Please check out her and Ms. Abby Favis’ wonderful campus biodiversity documentation project, The Ateneo Wild!)

The collection is available in sets consisting of salad plates featuring the four bird-and-tree pairings, and a dinner plate decked with elements of the native trees.

Local homeware brand Casa Juan MNL commissioned me to illustrate and design their “Bulaklak” collection of tableware. Ms. Michelle Fontelera, proprietor of Casa Juan, kindly gave me complete freedom to suggest flowers to feature, and eventually we went with the Tayabak or Jade Vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys), Sanggumay (Dendrobium anosmum), Renanthera monachica, and Dendrobium victoriae-reginae – all of which are epiphytes that are endemic to the Philippines.
The collection is available in sets consisting of dinner plates, salad plates, and soup bowls.

#ForestBloomsPh – Raising Awareness for the Beauty and Protection of Native Flowering Trees

Forest Blooms Philippine Native Trees planner

The Philippine Forest Blooms planner (c.2018) featuring our own native trees such as Malabulak, Narra, Ilang-ilang, etc. It’s already out of print, but you can purchase the digital PDF edition here.

Forest Fruits Philippine Native Trees postcard set

From Forest Blooms to Forest Fruits! This 30-piece postcard set features not-so-well-known fruits and seeds of Philippine native fruit-bearing trees.

Philippine Forest Produce Market Tote - Slo Store x CBA collab

The Foundation also supported limited-run brand collaboration projects like the Philippine Forest Produce Tote between me and SLO STORE. Aryann of SLO designed the market tote, while I provided illiustrations of food produced from native trees and plants such as Himbabao, Pako, and Niyog-niyogan. 

Forest Blooms Jewelry Philippine Native Trees

I was excited to partner with Blue Flame Handcrafted for the Forest Blooms Jewelry Collection which the Foundation supported too. Janette of Blue Flame did the metal crafting while I provided the native tree graphics of familiar flora such as Banaba and Katmon.

Forest Blooms Philippine Native Trees Embroidery Kit

Another collab project the Foundation supported was the Philippine Forest Blooms Embroidery Kit with CraftMNL. I provided the native flora illustrations while Marielle of CraftMNL designed the embroidery stitchwork. 

Forestree Philippine Native Trees game

To help introduce Philippine native trees to children, together with Gabby of Happy Cow Games we came up with a memory game app called ForesTree!

Philippine Forest Reflections Nature Appreciation Journal Undated Planner

The Foundation had planned to hold painting workshops and tree walks with me in 2020, but then the pandemic hit. To offer something meaningful while keeping everyone safe at home, I created an undated planner and nature appreciation journal called Philippine Forest Reflections, designed to help people feel closer to nature.

Philippine Native Trees face masks

One memorable project during the pandemic was creating face masks printed with my forest-themed illustrations. A friend told me about her dressmaker friend who was looking for work and extra income at the time, and could make and print face masks. So, I organized preorders (multiple times!) and we produced hundreds of them, helping build community while spreading love for our native species.

Philippine native trees 8x10 prints

When Typhoon Ulysses hit in 2020, I learned about the many families affected by the flooding. I decided to offer prints of the Forest Blooms and Fruits illustrations as a small way to help, and with the support of kind-hearted people, we were able to raise Php 75,000 in just 24 hours. All the proceeds were sent directly to the victims through the Kaya Natin Movement, and deposit slips and receipts are shared on this post.

The photo on the right shows the framed prints beautifully displayed in a lovely home, kindly shared by one of our generous supporters.

 

Philippine Forest Blooms notebooks and native tree pins

Some of the advocacy items I’ve created with funds raised from the initial products include Forest Blooms, Fruits, and Birds pocket notebooks and enamel pins. These items are still being produced and are available for purchase anytime in the shop.

Philippine native trees watercolor workshop (Katmon) - Cynthia Bauzon Arre

#ForestBloomsPh is a collaborative campaign launched with Forest Foundation Philippines to raise awareness for the beauty and importance of Philippine native flowering trees in forest conservation.

We began with producing illustrated items like the Philippine Forest Blooms planner and hosting watercolor workshops and drawing contests that showcase indigenous flowering trees, many of which are endangered. The campaign uses art and education to inspire appreciation and protection of our native flora, especially reaching out to young people.

We brought lesser-known native flowering trees like the Salingbobog, Malabulak, and Ipil into everyday life by featuring my illustrations of them on notebooks, postcard sets, tote bags, and even face masks during the pandemic — helping people feel a little closer to nature despite the distance. Later, we expanded our focus to include Forest Fruits and Forest Birds,s, highlighting their important roles in keeping forests healthy and thriving.

Proceeds from these merchandise sales go right back into supporting forest conservation and funding the creation of more advocacy items to keep the movement growing.

Proof that we take our research seriously! Me with the FFP team taking a taxonomy workshop in UST.

Huge thanks to the amazing FFP Project Management Team for supporting and guiding me every step of the way. <3

A collaboration with CraftMNL‘s Marielle Nadal-Reyes, the Philippine Forest Blooms Embroidery Kit which features flowers of the Banaba, Salingogon, Katmon, and Amugis aims to help raise awareness for the importance of Philippine native trees in forest conservation through the leisurely and immersive activity of creative stitching. It was Marielle who had the idea of coming up with embroidery kits using my native flora illustrations, so I gave her a pencil sketch of a floral arrangement which she then beautifully brought to life using needle and thread.

The floral embroidery can be reproduced through an accompanying stitch guide (included in the info sheet) and a series of tutorial videos.

This project was implemented with the support and guidance of Forest Foundation Philippines.

* Orders for the kits can be placed through CraftMNL’s Lazada shop. A portion of the proceeds will be used to fund more projects and products that can help spread the #DrawNativeTreesPh advocacy.

The Philippine Native Produce Market Tote is a project with Slo Store‘s Aryann Avenido. Constructed by a local bagmaker following Aryann’s design, each tote is made of carefully-sourced sturdy canvas and features several compartments to make carrying groceries and other essentials a breeze.. We also had my illustrations of six food-bearing native plants, namely Himbabao, Tan-ag, Pako, Roselle, Niyog-Niyogan, and Libas, silk-screened on the bag as a way to communicate their nutritional value as well as showcase their beauty.

The project was implemented with the support and guidance of Forest Foundation Philippines. Orders for the bag can be placed through the webshop. A portion of the proceeds from the initial batch will go to Philippine Parks & Biodiversity to support underequipped forest rangers in Ipo Watershed with their patrolling & operations.

UPDATE: A total of Php 8,220 from the 1st & 2nd batch sales was raised and donated to PPBCSI. Here’s the link to the transparency report.
