Good day!

Last month I shared my genesis drops on the tezo's marketplace, Hic et Nunc. Today I share the following drops, which have more editions, the intention being --connecting to more of the community! I swapped half, and I will swap the other half in the future (on some ominous date).

My third drop was a Kashmiri proverb I came upon in my research. I can't really explain it, but I just followed this feeling and it felt necessary for those passing through Tsandargam (moontown).

I started developing these handmade creations in spring. It's one of my favorite seasons, and one close to most Kashmiris due to the long winters and mystical meadows covered in dew once the frost breaks. Every morning one wakes with the fog casted from the Himalayas that dances between the valleys of grass, the fresh floral scent, and dew. I miss it. Shabnum ti āftāb is 'dew and sun' in the Kashmiri language.

The studio time consists of creating NFT art, and soon I will share a piece of me, which you can have close to you. I hope you like it. :) It's taken time to figure it out and having the courage to listen to the voice, but no great feat is easy. If you followed my creative journey via socials, you will see behind the scenes of my process and how I have tried to improve (i.e. be faster) in producing these works. :) I am excited to merge these worlds together (crypto art and maker world)! In the coming drops and creations, I will finally begin to share my collaborations with other Kashmiri artisans and locals! 

In case this interests you, be sure to sign-up to my studio newsletter if you have not already (what are you waiting for?) and follow me on socials for behind the scenes, live updates, and studio news! If you have any questions about crypto-art or otherwise, hit me up via email! And I will answer to the best of my abilities. <3

Have a lovely summer day and thank you for reading my story!

with dancing petunias of love,

Zareen

003: happy blooms (Kashmir Proverb)

One’s mouth must blossom, before one goes to see the flowers blossom. (
ə:sas gatshi phulay a:s in’, ad i gəyi phulay vuchi n’.) One must be happy at heart in order to enjoy the beauty outside.

004: shabnum ti āftāb (dew and sun)

May you be covered in dew and sun while passing through the happy valley (Tsandargam, moontown). No petty, no treachery will touch you. May you be covered in dew and sun.
