Buddha's Last Balls

 You have no idea how long I have been waiting to use that title

ever since I bought

Buddha balls from the tea shop

I have been wanting to use them in a title

which is totally juvenile I know

but something about even typing balls makes me giggle

so I finally got down to the last two Green Jasmine Tea Buddha Balls

so felt that is was now appropriate

as they are indeed Buddha's last balls

well in my house anyway...

So I made myself a strawberry flavour buddha tea 

and had every intention of painting it

until I looked really closely at just how complex that flower

becomes when it unfurls and figured that that was way too hard

and perhaps I had better things to do with my time

like work on the tea themed canvases

that have been hanging

neglected on the wall for the last few weeks

that I have started and stopped about a million times

and are in danger of being forever unfinished unless I attacked them

 So by the time I finished the second last ball

I had got quite a bit further along with them

and they are starting to look like teacups

and the H2O's that I am using are twinkling nicely

even if that doesn't photograph too well

 trust me they are twinkling and shimmering

and now I am dying for them to dry so I can get back to them

So it is looking like the last Buddha ball 

will be disappearing this afternoon as I get back to them

and if you love tea themed posts
