The neon whale contains parts of both the sky and sea. It drifts between worlds bringing bits and pieces to each location, much like how a bee fertilizes flowers. I like to think this is how life ends up on other planets 🪐 🐋✨

TianTsui or DianCui 点翠 "dotting with kingfishers" is a style of Chinese art featuring kingfisher feathers.

For 2,000 years, the Chinese have been using the iridescent blue feathers of kingfisher birds as an inlay for fine art objects and adornment, from hairpins, headdresses, and fans to panels and screens. While Western art collectors have focused on other areas of Chinese art including porcelain, lacquer ware, sculpture, cloisonné, silk and paintings, kingfisher art is relatively unknown outside of China.

With kingfisher birds becoming a protected species, contemporary artisans have turned to innovative substitutes instead of kingfisher feathers, such as blue-dyed silk and synthetic feathers.

Here’s a miniature model of a Chinese garden, colored with blue kingfisher feathers. Qing dynasty, 19th century.

This is the technique of ink insert decoration, formerly called niello and with it the famous Mycenaian Greek textbooks have been manufactured.The insert trim was done inside a cut, which followed the outline of the copper alloy-based fluoride by applying gold and silver foil to the shaped surface of the sword… “
