We used Asian brush paintings for inspiration. Tomorrow we are going to paint dogs, using oil pastels.<br /><br />But getting back to your post, I loved all your selections. I loved the use of gilt and the Asian zodiac.

I love your page, the gold, the fun of it. I don't know much about the traditions/history/celebrations of Chinese New Year. So, this was extra interesting.

I think if dog's cared every dog would be happy it is the year of the dog (and not the year of the cat.) :) And I think you mistook my question about sharing your adventures to NOLA. I wanted to know if you were going to share about your trip to New Orleans at any time (other than the T Day post). But I do understand you didn't make the trip recently and I do appreciate you letting me know how it was. :) Thanks for the interesting response in your comment. I am with you about Valentine's Day, it's not one of my favorites and Chinese New Year is much more interesting. Happy Valentine's Day anyhow.
