Be My Guest ........Moi's Used to This

chikisses,

Oooops, Do Watch Your Step.......

So SCARY that you really have to watch your steps here..........

these are the works of a talented street artist,  Edgar Mueller

He spent five days, working 12 hours a day, to create the 250 square metre image of the crevasse, which, viewed from the correct angle, appears to be 3D. He then persuaded passers-by to complete the illusion by pretending the gaping hole was real.

''I wanted to play with positives and negatives to encourage people to thnk twice about everything they see,' he said. 'It was a very scary scene, but when people saw it they had great fun playing on it and pretending to fall into the earth. 'I like to think that later, when they returned home, they might reflect more on what a frightening scenario it was and say, "Wow, that was actually pretty scary."

Mueller, who has previously painted a giant waterfall in Canada , said he was inspired by the British 'Pavement Picasso' Julian Beever, whose dramatic but more gentle 3D street images have featured in the Daily Mail.

This guy is amazing no matter how you look at it!

chikisses,

pee ess: please click pics for enlargement to really enjoy its effect and check out Edgar Mueller's work here

thanks Sakinab for sharing these beautiful works of art

WW Will Have to Wait.....I Feel Betrayed

today started off with moi wanting to share pics of mumster's room in Bangkok

which i'd wanted to show you since her return

as it has a  neat glass walled bathroom

cool room huh??? just love that bathroom

and this is the nice lady khun Vanicha at the hotel who looked after mumster and

always remember me although we have not met

 THEN

i chanced upon this little one who stole mumster's heart

she's Chanel

now

How can I keep quiet when I feel soooooo betrayed

and

mumster was hoping I didn't see THIS...eh this Chanel

when she's been talking  nonstop about this Chanel and her sibling Vuitton

NO

no  more pics as I've just hidden her mobile.......

my paws are showing as she's kissed and hugged Chanel for two whole hours,.....

so i apologise as WW will return next week
