A New Journey - CHINA

The monthly theme at Art Journal Journey is MAPS.  This gave me the perfect opportunity to create a page for China.  When I use kanji or other Chinese and Japanese symbols within my projects for a design effect, sometimes they don't represent their true meaning.  For this piece, I think I'm okay.

Oriental art has been a passion of mine for a very long time so this is the first of many spreads to come with an oriental theme.  I am also submitting it to Permission to Play.

Hi Carolyn -- odd - I was sure I put a comment on your page the other day. At any rate it must have got lost in internet land. Love the page -- you always made absolutely divine oriental pages -- this is an exceptional piece. Enjoyed it so much. Take care. Big hugs, Donna
