The colors & the greetings are perfect for both Christmas & Chinese New Year !

EAST MEET WEST GREETINGS

Since I am working on the East-Meet-West theme,

I have designed a set of 6 Chinese-English greeting flat/greeting cards & gift tags.

All of them are one-of-a-kind illustrations drawn by a pen & a ruler (& by myself of course).

  Here, you will have a sneak peek of my initial drawing (still in progress).

From bottom right clockwise:

Love 愛

Joy 喜

Hope 望

Peace 和平

Faith 信

Bless 祝

These greeting cards are not only good for Christmas season, but anytime throughout the year!

They are available to purchase at the NOV. 18-20 Acadia Christmas Craft Expo in Wolfville, NS.

I hope you like them too!

CHINESE GOOD LUCK KNOT

GOOD LUCK symbol is very important to both Eastern & Western world.

These are Chinese traditional Good Luck knots made with spun silk cords.

For an artistic touch, wool felt beans & other pearl look-a-like beans are added.

Some of them I needle felt Chinese character such as 美 "beautiful" & 吉 "auspicious".

Just before I needle felt the wool bean on the classic black & red combination...

Another example of the Chinese Good Luck Knot necklace & brooch...
