New Prints

Sorry about my absence. I was trying to focus on new prints and new scarves.
Here are two of my new prints.

Once a while I get emails asking about my first Gocco print, the first San Shui print (3-stone rule). It always brings me back to those inspiring gardens. The more I think, the more realize that I was not only inspired by those delicate Japanese gardens in Kyoto but also my grand parents’ garden where I grew up with.

It’s a Chinese style garden with rocks, a pond, a bridge, and a waterfall. It’s a miniature of everything we want from the nature. All the elements have their own characters, symbols and meanings.


The prints here are day dreaming of a garden in the day time and night time.

The elements/characters play here are moss, ponds, bamboos and deep deep sky......

I hope you will like the new prints. They are available in my Etsy.
ok I need to clean up my room now. Will be back with some new scarves tomorrow.

I am completely smitten by your prints as well. We should discuss those and your scarves for shiny squirrel. I think they would sell amazingly well!
