PFATT MArketplace update for August
Thanks a lot for all the helpful tips and the private emails about my health problems... you're the best, you know? I already feel better just knowing that I'm not alone in this :)
I've been thinking so much about my problems that I almost forgot to share my new offering for the PFATT Marketplace with you!... And also a little beeswax collage that It's for sale at Etsy right now. If you've been following my art you'll notice that I have quite a obsession with the moon. I'm a night owl after all... So I decide to make this month's offering in honor to rabbit in the moon. What rabbit? you might be asking... I only see a man in the moon, you'd say... Well I don't. No matter how much I've tried. I can clearly see the rabbit and nothing else... and that's because that's what I've been taught since I was a little girl. That's what Mexican people believe. There are several legends about it but the one I like the most is one about Quetzalcoatl.
Legend says that one day Quetzalcoatl, a very good and kind god took a human form and went to travel through the world. He was starving and he found a rabbit eating grass. The rabbit offered him grass but he said he didn't eat grass. Then the rabbit asked what was he going to do then and the God said that he would starve to death. Then the rabbit said: "I'm nothing but a rabbit, but if you're hungry, I'm here. Eat me". Quetzalcoatl was impressed with the kindness and self sacrifice of the rabbit and told him: "You may not be anything but a rabbit, but everybody will always remember you". And he raised him up to the moon and stamped his figure there and told him: "There's you in the moon. For all the mankind and for all the time".
And that's why we see a rabbit in the moon. And this is my interpretation:
And this is the other painting I was talking about:
It's titled "Vestido de noche" or "Night gown". I think of the moon as a woman. And I think of her body as part of the sky. Like if her dress was made out of night...She's for sale She Sold Right Away!!! on my Etsy shop.
Have a happy week full of beautiful moons!

Best of Luck,
Smooches
I've always collected moons. Looks like I might have to start collecting your moon art! It is so haunting and gentle. Lovely.
Mere
moons are important in our house too, I seem to always have to see where it is each night or day as it seems to be out a lot in the day too lately.
I just love the new work, really beautiful.
Hope you feel better soon.
