Snow's Bunny

Pat Snow is my friend.  He lives in Birmingham, and he is from Anniston, AL.  He makes art.  All the time.  I mean, Pat is profilic.  And his latest piece inspired (sparked) me to feature him here.

It's called "She Lived down the street."  

Isn't it scrumptious?!



When I asked Pat if I could write about him, I asked if he was aware of the Easter themes running throughout this piece.  He laughed (he laughs a lot), and said, "No.  I forgot about Easter."  

As far as the feng shui of She Lived Down the Street, I usually tend towards more "light-filled" works, and Pat is not afraid to let a little shadow through.  Here the bunny and houses are literally silhouetted, but oh-how-nicely it is done.   

If you were to place this in your home, I'd say the Creativity/Children section of the bagua would be the best bet.  Rabbits actually symbolize creativity (think: fertile).  The sunset is appropriate for this section as well.   And the story is about a "magical" and very -- mmm-- creative little girl.  Hence, Children.  

And you gotta love the resurrection symbology.  

Forgot about Easter, Pat?  Obviously your subconscious didn't.  The subconscious rarely, if ever, forgets about anything, ever.    

Check out Snow at his website www.patsnow93.com.  LOVE his portrait installation too, on the Home page.

Water Works - FENG SHUI TIP


How's your plumbing?  The water in your home symbolizes your money or your emotional well-being.  In order for our finances and our emotional health to be in good standing, both must be in the flow.  Hence...water.  

If you have leaky faucets or if your ceiling has shown some recent water stains lately, then your home may be telling you to take note of your finances.  Are you spending where you should be or is money "leaking out"?  In regards to emotions, perhaps you may need to express them in a healthier way (journaling, exercising, and -- big one -- honest communication with yourself and others).  Or perhaps you're too weepy and need to work on ruling your emotions rather than letting them rule you.   Clogged sink?  Again, those emotions may need expression rather than being bottled up.  Or you could be holding on to your money too tightly, so no flow is happening at all.  

Whatever the representation, if you make the water issues in your home a priority, it will manifest on the personal level as well.  i.e. fix the leak, especially with the intention of healing your life, and watch your money or emotional problems dry up!
