Teaching Feng Shui 風水 风水

The wind 💨 and the water 💦

Magic water paper + water blaster + sun 🌞

To be more precise:

Magic water paper + water blaster + brush + wind + water + washing line + 2 pegs + sun but it is very very quick and easy to set up and you will have a BLAST 😂

The wind is there moving the characters. The water makes up the characters. Do you think this symbolism is lost on children? I don’t…

Plus in this hot weather 30 degrees Celsius it dries really quickly so you can do other characters eg 日and others that are easy to see from far away.

Ideally I would make these characters into kites and launch them into the sky and water blast them from there but… I’m not that good at flying kites 🪁… one day…

Feeling hot hot hot 🌞

My secret to staying up at night and working… apart from generally having enough sleep, I love face mists. They literally wake me up – spraying water in one’s face is not the most pleasant of ideas in theory, but in practice if you use one infused with beautiful ingredients it can be a lovely pick-me-up.

The opposite of a prank joke, basically!

And… this is probably my favourite tale from the 1001 Nights: Iram the City of Columns

Painting I did in my teens. Forgot the title (as is a teenage work, not part of my properadult art portfolio)! Obsession with floating islands, strange landscapes, onion domes, levitating Buddhas and random pagodas already

The one that got away…

The step before the previous post; I just forgot to post it as I didn’t see it in my collection of photos since it was upside down! (And didn’t recognise it initially when quickly scanning – interesting brain tricks!) Anyway – same steps here too, body and glazes.
