tweaked on computer.
This was really fun to design. I tried to keep traditional papercutting at the heart of the design but add a personal twist. The areas I visited while in China had an amazing mix of traditional culture with the modern, cutting edge. I wanted the fabric to tell a mini story of some of the sights I saw in China which have been represented loosely (it would be impossible for me to do such amazing sights true justice!)... such as the Karst mountains, the Great Wall, and the beautiful dragon and phoenix imagery everywhere. For more waffle on the design (if you can stand it) you can read the blog entry here... Here is the new year (http://ladykerry.wordpress.com/2014/01/25/here-is-the-new-year/)
