I guess it has to do with scary movies again. I am often afraid of 1) being mistaken for a stalker 2) a face suddenly appearing at the window, scaring the shit out of me 3) that face has blood streaming down ...*screeeeeam! <br /><br />Seriously though, I love throwing my windows wide open for the fresh air and for the view. I am not sure I will enjoy people looking in though :). hehe but in my mini world, I welcome any kind of peering, peeking and please , do so to your heart's contend!

Thank you , dear friend. <br /><br />You know, much as working on my artist's studio helps calm me, what is even more rewarding is how the work becomes a portal to this community. You guys are such a source of inspiration, comfort and joy. It is impossible to wallow for long. And for everyone who is going through a tough patch, I wish for them support like this one. <br /><br />And yes, I say my thanks now for another good day with very little haze.

Here in Canada specifically southern Alberta, there are floods that are washing peoples livelihoods away in torrents and there you are a victim of raging fires and the haze that they have produced. With all of that choking smoke,and heat I don't know how you have managed!? Your artist's studio must be like a mental retreat as well as a rejuvenating one. God bless and keep you safe and healthy during this hazardous time Sans. You are very dear to all of us!<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-24905526138830728572013-06-27T03:04:22.374+08:002013-06-27T03:04:22.374+08:00The view through your window is beautiful.

I really keep my fingers crossed that the rain (I've read your answers to comments of course) will keep on.

You of course. The window was in fact "cut out" only after the pictures were hung. Without the window, there was seriously no way the pictures could ever be seen once all the walls and the 2nd floor goes up. <br /><br />Took me a while to decide whether I should do away with the 2nd floor. That's why this house is strange when it comes to scale. Many of the items were created when I still couldn't decide it would be 1:12 (without the 2nd floor) or 1:24 (with 2nd floor) . :):)<br /><br />In the end, I decided to throw scale out of the window and just work on pure feel :). <br /><br />Working on this post, I drew many references with what we went through in the haze. Things I took for granted like open windows became a no no when the pollutants were too high. I didn't know a simple thing like not being able to open your windows could really bring me down. :)Sans!https://www.blogger.com/profile/07142349451568183257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254510705233595277.post-11668365533323652392013-06-26T22:45:34.407+08:002013-06-26T22:45:34.407+08:00Susan , I remembered how not that long ago, you ha...Susan , I remembered how not that long ago, you had very good humouredly posted about the natural disaster (heavy downpour and flood?) you have had to endure. <br /><br />I will try to remember that spirit of yours and keep my chin up :). <br /><br />teehee, "busy baskets" is such a lovely term .

Questo smog ha causato molta rabbia nei 3 paesi, Singapore, Indonesia e Malesia. Spero che sarete in grado di visitare un giorno e si sarà in grado di sapere come incantevole ed esotica di questa parte del mondo è. La bellezza naturale nel Sud Est asiatico è davvero mindblowing e oserei dire non sarò mai stupito di quanto la natura è ancora possibile trovare qui. Questo è il motivo per cui le persone sono veramente sconvolto le pratiche irresponsabili delle aziende e di come givernments lasciarli scappare. Spero davvero che qualcosa di buono venire fuori da questo disastro e, infine, gli sforzi reali può essere fatto per porre fine agli incendi boschivi dannosi una volta per tutte! :) :)<br /><br />Sono molto commosso per i vostri complimenti per il mio lavoro. Trovo molto conforto nella loro creazione.
