Hand-Painted Borders ๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŒธ๐ŸŒผ I was so inspired by the name cards created by the talented IAMPETH community, I would love to collect them all! But I knew I couldnโ€™t just ask people without giving something back ๐Ÿ˜

So, last minute, I made some of my own cards right on the plane and at the airport. It was tricky to paint while traveling, but it will definitely be worth it! ๐Ÿงก

This is a painting I did in 2022, I was already fascinated by this majestic creature! I named her Hoppy โ€” a happy and hopeful Praying Mantis ๐Ÿ’š

Close up of this lovely lady, her head can turn 180 degree!

Hoppy is a Chinese praying mantis, an adult with a 9cm body length, about 4โ€“6 months old. The 6 segments on her lower body indicate she is female.

Fun fact: Large praying mantises can catch and eat small birds! The minimum size for a praying mantis to successfully hunt a bird is generally about 2.4 to 4 inches (6 to 10 centimeters) in body length. Hoppy is 9 cm long!

I first met her on 24 July, but I found her still hanging around on my balcony the next day! Since there was a typhoon that weekend, I decided to bring her indoor on 25 July. Itโ€™s also my anniversary with Siu Yu ๐Ÿพ that day, maybe Siu Yu returns her spirit in another animal form?

I built a house for her with materials I found at home. Kola was curious about her friend!

Hoppy was hungry! I fed her Cherry Cockroaches bought from a reptile specialist shop.

Yesterday I set up Hoppyโ€™s new home with a new breeding pet box with holes for fresh air, plus hanging branches, organic soil, and Lamma leaves.

Trip to England ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
Not many of you know that I used to live in London for 8 years in my mid twenties! I went back to England last month to visit family. During my two weeks stay, I stopped work and was able to focus on things I love โ€” time with family; creating personal artwork; my love for penmanship with my niece and nephew; visiting art exhibitions! Overall it was a relaxing time to rewind and be inspired ๐Ÿงก
