These are just beautiful! And I love the pictures in the snow--unique!
ReplyDeleteAs I understand the use of chops they are a type of stamp and there for are backwards so when they are used the stamp correctly.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that without knowing Chinese, I have no idea whether these characters are right or not, and I can see how people may be offended when the symbols they understand are misused. I definitely would not like it if somebody decorated something with misspelled Russian words, for example. However, again, without understanding the hieroglyphs, all I can do is admire the choice of colors and proportions of these pieces, and I still think they are beautiful for these reasons. I do apologize if I hurt any body's feelings by featuring these pendants...
ReplyDeletevery cool, thanks for sharing! :D
