208-365 Emperor Kang Xi
Oh the Chinese ephemera....it'll be coming out for a long time. This picture of the emperor is from the pamphlet gotten at the Beijing Ancient Observatory, one of the oldest observatories in the world.
500 Miles 24 July 2011 (#150)
I cut this little story out of the paper a week or two ago intending to render it into mailart and so here it is! The story reads as follows:"Lovestruck Liu Peiwen has taken his Proclaimers-mad fiancée at her word and is walking 1,000 miles just to fall down at her door. When the 29-year old proposed to Ling Hsueh, 23, she accepted but joked it was on condition he followed the Scottish band's hit 500 Miles. She was shocked when Mr Liuset off on a walk from Henan province to her hometown in Guagndong province in south-east China, 1,600km (1,000 miles) away. "He is such a fruitcake," she said.
Apart from the fruitcake reference I think I got it all in and I've even added some Scottish and Chinese themed stamps to finish it off postally!
Oh and for those who don't know the song here it is - http://youtu.be/Gy4UP_dCjAk
Boo Cartledge: 58 , 59 Year of the Rabbit 3, 4
012/365 AND 013/365 - Double Dragon
012 and 013 are both made from some art that I made in Chinese Culture class last week. I love writing and painting on rice paper instead of computer paper - it feels so soft and authentic.For 013, the pine needles reminded me of the spokes on my favorite bicycle stamp, and I had to put it on the card!
