A Visit to China

A couple of years ago we were lucky enough to have a month in China. 

Chinese Architecture

I just love the architecture of the beautiful temples. We were at one temple where they were building a new temple in the grounds. With the detail being used, you would think the temple was a thousand years old. People in China love to visit their temples.

Chinese Colours

Chinese people love the colour RED. They like sparkling gold also or a rich deep yellow to go with the red.

My husband and I both love to do art. He likes to do woodblock printing. A design is carved out into a piece of wood, printing ink applied, then it is pressed onto a piece of paper. He uses many carvings and many colours of ink in one print. This is very complicated. If he makes a mistake there is no going back.

Many years ago when he was in China, he was given a Chinese name. That is now his signature on his prints.
