      @JMarieCAlove 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That symbol was taken from Hitler and changed it to be something bad the rest of the world because of how Hitler was. But the swastika use to mean good luck or good fortune. Before Hitler came about, even the U.S. used the swastika for certain merchandise and the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts had that on badges to add on to their uniforms because it was a positive message then. Then Hitler took it upon himself to destroy a good and pure meaning, Good luck or good fortune, for his own symbol and the people in the U.S. and other countries, stopped using the swastika. So the people of today who still support white supremacy and wear that symbol, they actually don’t even know it was once meant for good.

      I follow Buddhism so it is definitely sad people see the symbol and think of evil. Even though the direction differs the association is the same. I have statues of Buddha's with the peace on their chest, no one says anything but I'm sure they think negativity but realize it's not the same.

      The symbol similar to what is in this video is still used frequently in Buddhism. It is the rotated/diamond version that was hijacked and used nefariously in history/ and is still used by less-intelligent folks who think they’re drawing a wht-power symbol and have no idea about the square symbol’s use in Buddhism.
      I hate to see it misused, but I do get a chuckle out of the idea of radical buddhists graffitiing locations.
      Radical street-art buddhists would certainly be more welcome than the ignorant folk who still try to use the symbol.

I DEFINITELY will be purchasing these if you ever market them. It is the exact sort of frieze that I have been looking years for as a tie-it together theme for my master bedroom. Your home and the care you take in decorating it is such a joy to witness. Thank you for sharing.

    We,latvians,still use this symbol as it comes from our ancient culture! It's a thunder cross or fire cross here. When the rotation for the symbol is to the left,it saves against fire,so is engraved at the foundation of houses. But rotation to the right,encourages fire,so is used near fireplace. Also symbol protects against health issues and helps with luck. Symbol for the energy of Sun 🌅

There is too much old water damage from years ago before the roof was replaced. I really want to catalog it before we have to do some needed structural work, and likely destroy much of it.

    You are truly a divine being! Stunning! I will totally purchase that wall paper. You should make it available as fabric as well. I would cover my Victorian rocking chairs with it. Thank you for being such an inspiration. Sending you love, kindness and power! A

      Omg can you even imagine it in fabric!?!? I would 100% buy that. I can see me making pillows with tassels and velvet accents. What a great idea

    The thing I love most about artists. I would have stopped so early in the process. She kept adding more and I was like “Whoa!!!” Every time! I wish I were the mind to keep pushing forward.

    What a master of so many things you are. It’s very impressive. I’m also profoundly grateful you stop the music when you speak. I’m forever at a loss why so many people on TH-cam put music so loud, that I can’t hear the people speak. Thanks for sharing your talents

    First of All I just want to say how much I adore Christine McConnell , her unending talent, creativity and beauty inside and out .
    I have no craft skills at all but just marvel at all her whimsical and magical creations and my God how these videos cheer me up when I’m feeling gloomy.
    BTW if Christine MCConnell releases a wallpaper range , I would definitely buy it 👍😀🌷🙏😻

    Fabulous and amazing as always. But I have to say, I could help but staring at the candle closest to you while you’re on the couch. It’s the only one with a dancing/flickering flame and in some folk magick, is seen as an indicator that spirits are present..

    Lol the Swastika was pinched from an Indian symbol which was associated with peace, lol. The irony. Your illustrations and commitment to authentic detail whilst still keeping it “you” are incredible! I can’t wait for the day to see when you have got to a stage where you are done in each room. Xxx

    I was so excited to receive the new episodes, I viewed them immediately! I would not characterize myself as a "wallpaper person". I generally don't find the patterns appealing and it just reminds me of some very bad decisions made decades ago by previous owners of my house. But...I absolutely LOVE everything about this wallpaper. The colors definitely resonate with my preferred palette and my husband and I are both divers so this underwater theme and images are just so beautiful. It does remind me of sunken treasure or a beautiful shipwreck. I really hope you do decide to make these patterns available for purchase! Thank you for inviting us into your mind for a spell. 🧜‍♀🔮

    You always teach us so much. I'm sorry I can't be a patreon person, but I love it when you upload for us others. It's so refreshing how much you know and I'm so glad that house has you as the new owner. I think you've been there almost 1 1/2 years. It is all just the right canvas for you to work your creative magic. Thanks. Take care.

    Every time you post I expect to see some next level art and still you manage to surprise me every time how insanely good you really are and how much effort you put into the smallest details. You couldn't be further from half-assing things and I admire that.
