  • Unabashed holiday pic spam coming to you on the "worst astrological day of the year" lol. (Mercury conjunct Mars opposing Pluto with a little Moon thrown in--there have been some Kiddo moments of upset, but they were soothed quickly, thank goodness, making the "crater" she dug in the sand kinda funny.) Everything looks easier while swinging in a hammock. Also, Spirited Away socks. (We went bowling.) #beach #sand #hammock #vacay #vacation
  • This may be her favourite place and swimming pool in the entire world. #vacay
  • The best lazy vacation days are like this. A painting on the desk, and the kid and I singing our favourites as she plays Minecraft with Eevee close by. (And yep she got a haircut.) #painting #parenting #wip #holidays #artistslife #artistsoninstagram #instaart
  • Some texture and detail shots from a commissioned piece in progress. We're going full unicorns and rainbows. #unicornsandrainbows #wip #painting #watercolours #watercolor #mixedmedia #markers #colorpencil #art #artstagram #instaart #artistsoninstagram #workinprogress #fantasyart #traditionalpainting #healingart #innerchild #feathers #worksonpaper #singaporeart #illustration
  • Fun experiment with quick gratification. Would do it again. #suminagashi #marblingart #ink #markers #colorpencils #watercolours #mixedmedia #art #painting #experimental #watermedia #artstagram #instaart #artistsoninstagram #fantasyart #fantasypainting #fairy #fae #dragonfly #sketch #singaporeart #illustration
  • School holidays are here and the kid and I broke open the box of marbling inks earlier this week. Experimenting with combining it with painting today. Art therapy badly needed right now. #suminagashi #marbling #marblingart #ink #mixedmedia #sketch #art #watercolors #markers #colorpencils #markers #fantasyart #fairy #instaart #artstagram #artistsoninstagram
  • Girls' day out. Needed small repairs on my glasses and this is what happens.
  • Full moon in Scorpio and Vesak Day in parts of the world including here. (I have my own reasons for disagreeing that this the right full moon for Vesak, and I agree more with the Tibetan date. Anyone who wonders into the shop today may get the full astrology rant from me if they give me an opening. But anyway.) Scorpio has a reputation, but it don't care. Its mission is more important, and that is to dive into depths that others would shy away from: sex, taboos, death. But the depths are where the treasures are. The past week has been one of the most rewarding I've experienced this year, but only because I fully accepted "weirdness" as it came-- whether someone confessed them to me or I revealed my own casually because I was now comfortable with them. I think trying to appear normal and mainstream is a self-traumatising experience, and I'm no longer playing that game. As full moons go, this may be the best realisation that I can share. So bring out your weird. #scorpio #fullmoon #astrology #vesak #buddhism #breakfree #breakthrough
  • I have a quartz in my collection that was sold to me as a lightning-struck crystal, bearing these fused cross-hatching lines on one side that remind me of ladders. This piece never fails to make my crown buzz when I run my fingers over it. Suits me. Lightning flashes of intuition are familiar to me in my work, but, it can also lead to feeling one's circuits and senses overloaded from time to time. "Coincidentally", I've Uranus sitting at the top of my birth chart (conjunct midheaven), Chiron on my IC. Prometheus and the wounded healer forming this axis for me between Scorpio (above) and Taurus (below). One plus of this feature: the motivation to clear all obstructions to healing and understanding is a constant pillar that holds me up. I appreciate this reminder on the days I need to rest. #crystals #astrology #chiron #uranus #scorpio #healing #lightning #breakingfree #lifepath11
