Welcome to the MySpace page for PhilippineScript Designs, www.philippinescript.com , an on-line store dedicated to the preservation of pre-Hispanic Philippine culture by featuring baybayin on wearable art, such as the pieces shown on our slideshow.
Since learning about baybayin I have become passionate about sharing the knowledge of its beauty and significance. The result is PhilippineScript Designs.
What is baybayin ? It is the ancient script of our Filipino ancestors, thought to be used as early as 900 AD.
My painting, also in the photo gallery, reads "Pi Na A Ko" - Pinay Ako - I am a Filipina. The chart I've included also shows what sounds each symbol represents in baybayin script and will give you an idea of my writing style.
I translate names and/or Tagalog words to baybayin and it is these symbols I burn by hand into Philippine wood beads and pendants, making all my pieces one-of-a-kind.
When you visit www.philippinescript.com , you will find ready-made baybayin jewelry but the feature I'm most excited about is being able to create a piece just for you. Show your love for the Philippines while you wear an affordable necklace or bracelet that expresses who you are and/or shows your, or a loved one's, name in baybayin.
The following slideshow features the different ways you can order personalized pieces:
Together, we'll make something wonderful...and I thank you for letting me be part of our mutual celebration of the Philippine culture.
