Subject: Dragon and Pheonix on lantern
Materia Artistica: freehanded brushpen and watercolour on rice paper lantern
Reffernces:none
Notes: the second view of the dragon side. Why yes if you are observant this is hanging in the tent i sell out of at Pennsic. it had another lantern done by a firend i was teaching how to do lanterns. hers is the feng shiu lantern as it has an early dynasties poetry of the directions on it on the correct alignments. She teahces english in china. it is good to have those kinds of friends! you can learn a lot and get neat stuff. she usually brings in pearls from the south seas area. Anyway this one if i hd not mentioned it was also totally free hand. the paper is to soft to handle pencil and can rip if the brush is to heavily laid on it. so you muct be careful and yes i have killed a lantern before. just not the first few.
