Hey everyone, this article is probably going to be pretty short (Edit: yup, I hoped) (and sorry for the low quality photos, my tablets camera is horrible, but I'll add pictures down below). As you see I didn't change much (yet, 😄) this time, just finally changed pictures in my 4 frames again. As you can remember from my not so old publications, I change them in the ending of summer previously, back then I printed out some coloring sheets (LOL), colored them and simply put them on my wall (take a look to remember what it used to be like link), I know that in the photos brightly colored pictures on white backgrounds looked good, but in real life they soon got on my nerves, first of all some of the neon colors and white background made them seem somehow simmilar to my old childhood drawings, they started to seem too light, bright and somehow... Unnatural to me (after all I should have had understood that months ago - coloring sheets as wall art are a ridiculous concept). I didn't like their style, but I loved the theme - mandala, Buddha sitting on lotus etc. So I thought I will just make something simmilar, only more qualitative and looking truly like WALL ART should look like. At first I thought I'll buy some of those wall art canvas (since I was kinda tired of always-the-same looking frames), but after visiting 5 local shops, with home decors available, and going through around 100 online shops, I came to a conclusion that none of them has exactly what I wanted, in local stores there were only boring looking, pale, banal nature views, one or two online shops had something similar to the style I wanted but I discovered 2 things
A) online they are 3 times more expensive than in actual shops
B) they are mostly just canvas with print WITHOUT WOODEN FRAME, so you have to get frame SEPARATELY and pin canvas to it YOURSELF
Afterwards I quit the idea of buying some pictures and went to internet to search for some nice pictures, I quickly found some that were nice and (what's the most important in this case) the right ratio aspect to fit A4 format, after enlarging them to at least 1500 - 3000 pixels, I just ordered them to be printed as photos in local photography salon. Full stop.

Now you can stop reading but as I assume, some of you, those who have been reading my articles carefully and following my newest room decor updates, might be wondering "Wicca, Buddhism? What's even going on there? What does it mean?" There are certain people who put religion resembling decors in their homes (mostly Buddha), just because it looks good, and I completely understand it and I think have a kinda done so myself. But as I said in my previous article, yes I'm currently studying different religions (all of them basically, just because I'm bored and always thirty for random knowledge) and trying to find practices that I find interesting. As you know I have loved different Witchcraft related things for years, ever since my mum started teaching me to read cards and telling me about her rich experiences with supernatural things and spirits, I have been practicing different forms of witchy practices, as well as studying Wicca as religion (Neo-Paganism), and I truly love all these old traditions and beliefs. About Buddhism and Buddha - as you see I had picture of Buddha on my wall before, as well as tiny statue of him that has been on my shelf for long time. Why? I've been studying stuff like yoga, meditation, such lifestyles ever since I was in elementary school, I even have a small collection of books about these topics. See, I have always seen these practices as a way to finally relax your body and mind, to finally find inner peace, harmony, balance and satisfaction. That's what I need, especially now in this pretty complicated time of life. As you see I have different things around my room, witch pentagram dreamcatcher, my witche's ladder, bells near entrance door, collection of crystals, cards and other stuff that I keep in cabinet, pentacle altar cloth on my keyboard, Book of Shadows, mala beads, my tiny, cute Buddha statue, and my old collection of Angel figurines (by the way, did you know that angels suit completely any beliefs) many other stuff that all resembles what I like to do, practice (oh, how I wish to share more pics of other recent DIYs and stuff I love, but let's keep this short and leave more material for next article). Mostly I don't take these two practices too seriously, even though they are religion based. Currently I don't think I really belong to any religion, I was kinda raised as Christian (influence of my Christian grandma), even though our family was never really religious, I'm not even Baptized, and I still support and value this religion, but I guess I'm in a journey of finding my true self and path. As I mentioned before I might really convert to Wicca, or maybe 50% Wiccan 50% Buddhist (it's pretty good combination as they both share similar beliefs and principles, for example belief in reincarnation, they can be combined). But time will show. For now I can't tell anything more, since everything is so uncertain now and I don't want to tell much, before I know for sure myself. All I want to achieve by doing any practices, hobbies, anything (no matter religion based or not) is to finally find happiness, peace and harmony, and simply to learn new things and experiment to find out what might help me achieve it and simply create the perfect combination of lifestyles, interests, and other things in my life.
Oh, and by the way, I'm very open minded, and even though I know that there are certain practices and things that just aren't my cup of tea (that's normal), I always respect any kind of tradition, and I don't mind others practicing and believing in whatever they want to, I'll always be understanding and supportive.
(Wow, I found emoji symbol of mala beads... I think so)
