Episode 4: The Swim Meet is a candid view of the competition of life, and the spectators looking on. Whether for sport or support, their ever present cheers seem to swell in response to one's efforts, and can be inspirational or taunting, depending upon one's view.

Episode 6: Kirsten’s Rainy Encounter was inspired by a series of oil paintings by RL artist Leonid Afremov. The Rainy Encounter series uses the play of vivid colours reflecting off wet ground and through rain to soften the image and create depth perception. Dharma jumps up and down in glee at receiving a print of this beautiful scene, because they really, really want their hooman to make an art with it and put them in it, so they can splash in the puddles and dance in the rain!

Episode 10: Lunar New Year Dress
From the Pauli Hoh collection
Get out that little red dress for the Lunar New Year festivities! The colour red is vitally important to Chinese culture, representing fire and energy, vitality, good luck and prosperity. This dress, with its narrow waist and bell shaped skirt, in vivid shades of red embellished with bamboo leaves is the perfect fit for this time! The Festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first lunar month in the Chinese calendar and for the next fortnight visits are made to family and to friends. The visitor will come bearing a small gift to the household, most often citrus fruit, which is said to bring wealth and good fortune. Guests are welcomed with tea and sweet treats served on a round or octagonal tray, symbolising togetherness. Usually the sweets are arranged in amounts divisible by eight as this is a lucky number. The first day of Lunar New Year represents new beginnings with renewed hopes for prosperity and happiness. There is excitement outside provided by Lion and Dragon dances performed in the streets.

Episode 19: Geometric Red Dress
From the Pauli Hoh collection
Hey, chaps and chapesses, this divine little frock shows us just how important triangles are. We couldn't do without this versatile three-sided shape in everyday design, and clothes are just as important as buildings or bridges! Remember Pythonagoras’ theorem from school? The one that goes “The squirrel on the hippopotamus is equal to some of the squirrels on the other two sides”? What’s that got to do with the price of onions, did I hear you say? Well, never mind—just look at this dress: a thing of beauty and a joy forever. It’s a striking and pleasing colour combo of scarlet and purple, with a border of autumnal flowers around the hem. The whole thing is set off with a beautiful floppy red bow linking the shoulder straps.

Episode 25: After viewing all of the inspiring works in this section of Musee d’Art de Cannelle, Dharma is feeling a little sad to have to return to a gourd house that looks exactly the same as every other gourd house in PnF Land, which is not terribly exciting...because if you've seen one gourd house, you've seen them all!

But suddenly Dharma stumbles upon a funky house, which looks very similar to one in a Picaso masterpiece....
"A present for me?" asks Dharma, hardly daring to hope!
