空手 – Karate
The word means empty hand.
To those new to karate, it simply describes a martial art without weapons.
To those who practice it, it asks a deeper question:
What does it mean to keep the hands—and the mind—empty?

Empty of weapons, yes.
But also empty of ego, anger, and fear.
So that skill comes with control,
and strength comes with responsibility.” 🥋

Here’s the second of my karate series cards! For me a karate Gi represents discipline, dedication, equality, tradition, personal growth and belonging. This is the reason for its simplicity…the power is in the image. To all you people out there who wear them, whether it be just for mobility, fitness, community, personal growth or competition…be proud!

I recently found inspiration in watercolour art, thanks to an Aquarell & Bossa event in Hohenems .austria and Pinterest! I decided to give a Karate style card a try…my husband being the biggest inspiration 🫶🏼 He had his 4. Dan examination and so I knew it had to be something special! I’ve now decided to create a whole karate themed series of cards…watch this space 😉

Danke an .austria für den tollen Abend in deinem Atelier am Freitag. Es hat mich sehr motiviert, und ich bin selbst sehr positiv von meinen eigenen Kunstwerken überrascht … Wahnsinn, was für einen Unterschied eine tolle Ambiente, die richtige Atmosphäre und ein bisschen Zeit ausmachen. Es war wunderbar. Danke.

This paper might be old…but it’s certainly never out of style! Don’t these beautiful wreaths make the perfect wedding card?!?

It’s that time of year again…such a beautiful celebration for the children and their families! This card was created with love for my daughter this time last year.

Congratulations on your new home! Simple yet effective 🤩.

What’s not to love 😍 Loving playing around with my new toys…such beautiful autumn decoration/ gift!
