No matter the storm around you, let the breeze carry your emotions to a place of relief. Nothing lasts forever. The intensity of the storm will pass, and the rainbows will come out to play. Always there, they are ready for when they are needed. Let your heart sing at the mere mention of a rainbow.

Rainbows are all around you right now! Inside and out! The colors of the rainbow are there even if you can't see them. Color is merely our name for a specific wavelength, vibration, or frequency of light. We don't need to see the colors of the rainbow to feel their presence here with us. Can you feel the rainbow that lives within you?

RAINBOW RAIN (USD 130)

Look up into the sky, and dream of flight among the stars. However, once we start traveling up in space, we'll most assuredly miss Earth. Dark and cold openness is incomparable to our warm welcoming planet home. Kiss the Earth with your bare feet. Walk over bare soil and feel connected. Express your love for Mother Earth. Stay grounded. We are in this together. Let's make Earth a better place for generations to come.

ABOVE THE PLAINS (USD 55)

It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the wide-angle view is only accessible from the top. A bird's-eye view is very different from a worm's-eye view when they're looking at the exact same thing. Fly like a bird among majestic mountains to experience the complete picture from the top. Or get down to play in the dirt like a worm, see what the bird will never see. Don't give up, inch along or soar towards your goals.

MOUNTAIN MAJESTIES (USD 55)

Do you know what you want? What if you let go and allow the universe to make all your dreams come true? There are no clear guidelines as to what one can or can not get. Sometimes we receive what we need and not what we want. The skies above are full of joyous possibilities, but only a rare kind is courageous enough to dream big enough and let go of enough expectations. The skies are full of clouds and stars, and your life is full of opportunities only you can recognize and appreciate. Let the expectations go, and allow gratitude to guide you through life.

SPACIOUS SKIES (USD 55)

Mars invites us to awaken a desire for spiritual knowledge. Mars, dry, fiery, and masculine by nature, is the 4th planet from the Sun and one of the smallest in our solar system, shining with a bright red hue in our sky. Astrologists identify Mars's energy as active, hot, egocentric, and muscular.

Embody Mars to develop determination, quick mental activity, and strong leadership qualities. Mars promises you a chance at everything you desire in every arena of life. Mars represents obsession, success, experience, the karmic cycle of birth and death, and reincarnation.

In the world of love Mars rules over sexual energy and desire, physical attraction and chemistry. It is the planet of action, not reaction. Trust the influence of Mars, don't contemplate, but instead jump right into whatever you are doing. If you can harness this planet's energy properly, it can propel you into productive action.

MARS MADHOUSE (USD 70)

HIMMAPAN MARSHMALLOW
OHM x MOTMO

Himmapan, a mythical forest believed to connect heaven and earth is a mystical land on the top of a rugged mountain towering high into the sky. It is beautiful, and expansive and is the dwelling place of guardian angels, humans with supernatural abilities, and weird and bizarre animals. Artists from the past created art inspired by Himmapan forest, which appeared in both paintings and sculptures in temples. Contemporary artists inspired by Himmapan forest also create art toys for younger generations.

Recently, pictures of Himmapan animal sculptures by local artisans at temples in Thailand were shared on social media. They are sculptures whose shapes are out of proportion, and whose details have been toned down not in accordance with the traditions of the royal technicians in the royal court but relying on dedication and faith. Although they might look like sculptures made by people lacking knowledge of art, their naive simplicities turned out to be adorable. Some pieces look like cartoons that will make people smile whenever they look at them. The popularity went viral with #หิมพานต์มาร์ชเมลโล่ (#himmapanmarshmallow)

Mo, Komkrit Tepthian, lecturer at the Department of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Art, and Design, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, and the founder of MOTMO STUDIO was one of the people who brought the Himmapan Marshmallow trend to the public with the intention of imparting traditional knowledge through art toys. The Himmapan wildlife art toys have brought fun, joy, and colors to the art community.

OHM and Mo-Komkrit chose these mythical creatures to design a bead collection Himmapan Marshmallow and captured their uniqueness under Be You Be OHM with the goal of taking local artisans’ works to international audiences.

These Himmapan creatures are guardians protecting sacred religious sites. They generally can be seen in front of or at the gates and entrances around the temples. Each has unique features that are instantly recognizable. They come in special packaging inspired by the beauty of Himmapan forest. When collected together they will complement each other and make the story more interesting.

LIL SINGHA is small in size, but his duty is larger than you can imagine. People call him the little lion of Wat Mahachai, Maha Sarakham. He watches for any threats coming into the temple.

People adore him and say that he belongs to the High Gods, and came down to help humans.
